After a decade of cultivating young creatives as Blackbird Academy, it's time to expand the vision.
At Blackbird Arts Collective, we believe the arts promote confidence, creativity, healthy emotional outlets, and collaboration in students.
By partnering with other arts organizations, we are working to ensure all students have access to the arts — regardless of their financial circumstances.
