Held over the summer, the program brought together a diverse group of creatives from across Fresno for an immersive, hands-on creative experience. The curriculum was as diverse as the city itself, blending traditional techniques with contemporary approaches. Participants delved into drawing, digital illustration, animation, spray painting, sewing, sneaker customization, and explored the interplay between sound, music, and visual storytelling. Alongside the technical training, students engaged in candid conversations about the art world – from branding and marketing their work to navigating creative careers and entrepreneurship.
