YOUR ART WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.
#FACTS.
CREATIVE FUTURES.
The creative economy is an incredibly expansive ecosystem for creatives of all fields. However, more often than not, young people of color have limited exposure to these opportunities and are less likely to leverage their gifts and talents in ways that can open up creative career opportunities. As a Hip Hop Cultural Art Center, Elementz is committed to disrupting that dynamic by increasing exposure and building infrastructure for young artists, graphic designers, writers, fashion designers, architects, performers and innovators of all kind to reshape the future...creatively.
Creative programming at Elementz is uniquely designed to provide space and support for cultural artist to be exposed to, and refine their crafts, whether they be in music production, movement, storytelling or visual expression.
