Boys and Girls Club

Spring 2024 Cohort

“In Creative Leadership,

We explore different types of art and learn that we can accomplish something without giving up. Thinking of one thing can lead to many other creative things. Each time we try, we get better and better.

We create to express ourselves, share thoughts and inspirations with others. The art we create will be meaningful and help others feel happy.

We hope anyone who wants to make art will create what they feel is right because it could help others. If you’re an artist, be creativity and be yourself.
Art is endless.”
