For over 20 years, their team of artists, educators, activists, and licensed art therapists have provided art workshops, collaborative art projects, and exhibitions to youth who are incarcerated, on probation, in foster care, or otherwise involved with the juvenile court system. By creating safe and celebratory spaces, Artistic Noise allows court-involved and system-impacted teens and young adults to express themselves, be seen, and be supported on their journey to adulthood. Through their Art Entrepreneurship program, they help young artists curate an annual art exhibition, showcasing their unique perspectives and accomplishments.
