Stewarding Beauty

A Giving Initiative from Make Creative Studio

Our Mission

At Make Creative Studio, we believe art has the power to heal, connect, and restore. Our mission is to cultivate creativity, faith, and community through art—especially for those navigating difficult seasons.

Through our art therapy programs and nonprofit partnerships, we walk alongside individuals and families experiencing situations like addiction, poverty, foster care, and trauma. Every class, workshop, and gathering is an invitation to experience beauty, belonging, and hope.

We’re thrilled to expand this mission through Stewarding Beauty, our annual giving initiative—and we’d love for you to join us.
