Empowered Creatives
Empowered Creatives is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that aims to unleash the power of the arts through accessible and personalized programming and reimagine what individual and collective artistic expression can look like.
With your support, we can bring our workshops to communities and organizations that we would not otherwise be able to reach! Help us grow our community!
Who We Are:
We are a group of musicians, artists, and storytellers who believe that everyone is innately creative and every
story has value.
What We Believe:
We believe that creativity is a fundamental cornerstone of identity and self expression that must be encouraged in children and adults alike.
What We Are Doing:
We are taking ourselves off the stage and putting our participants in the spotlight by offering workshops that bring the art making process to our participants.

We would be nothing without our partners and participants. Take a look at what they have to say:
"They invited everyone—musicians and residents alike—into a shared process of creation rather than performance alone. The atmosphere felt deeply collaborative, joyful, and validating; every participant’s expression was celebrated as meaningful. We left inspired by how the arts can connect people across disciplines and generations in such an immediate, heartfelt way."

"Watching the magic that your spirit and musical gifts unlocked with our participants and staff was a needed uplift and I am so grateful! You reminded me the importance of our work and the role I get to play in it. Thank you for being amazing people in the world."

“Empowered Creatives is truly making a difference in people’s lives. These inspiring individuals transformed nursing home residents’ artwork into beautiful musical compositions, giving voice to their emotions and stories through music. Their kindness, compassion, and creativity embody the true spirit of Empowered Creatives.”

"The students were smiling, dancing, moving and creating. I also enjoyed the way EC was intentional in designing their workshops to meet the needs of our students and stay true to their mission. I saw one of the 2nd grade participants carefully holding their graphic score as they lined up for the bus after school. I asked her how she liked the workshop and she smiled a very big smile. I asked her what she liked about the workshop and she said, “I made music!” "
