We are deeply grateful for CCP’s contributions in service to generations of students,” said Susan Salcido, Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools. “For 50 years, CCP has provided meaningful access to the arts—sparking creativity, nurturing confidence, and expanding perspectives. Now more than ever, arts education is a vital force in teaching and learning, helping students connect, reflect, and grow. Their work ensures every child, from preschool through high school, has opportunities to explore, express, and belong through the arts.
Your Investment Fuels Artistic Minds
As Children’s Creative Project celebrates its milestone anniversary, the need for community support has never been greater. Transportation costs alone – getting students to performances and bringing artists to schools – represent a significant funding challenge that determines how many young lives can be touched.
• $50 covers transportation for five students to attend a live performance
• $150 funds art supplies for an entire classroom residency program
• $300 sponsors a full day of professional artist instruction for 30-90 students
• $500 brings a touring performance to an underserved school community
• $1,000 supports a month-long resident artist placement, reaching hundreds of students daily
Your investment can ignite creative sparks that can transform young lives for generations to come.
