EMPOWERING YOUTH TO EXPLORE MUSIC AND MOVEMENT THROUGH THE ART OF SELF EXPRESSION​

At Creative Emajination's, every youth will have the opportunity to explore their imagination without limitations, which will enable for them to reach their full potential through the art of music and dance.
​
We exist to provide a welcoming and safe gathering place where youth are free to learn and explore movement and self-expression through the in performing arts. We accomplish this by partnering with skilled performing arts volunteers who commit to sharing their knowledge of dance, vocal instruction, and music recording in both its physical form and its historical context. ​

Ophelia Brinkley
Founder+Ceo

 Ophelia knew that the arts play an important role in childhood creativity and emotional development; she also loved the community created through art. She saw the amazing impacts of art firsthand in her oldest son. Throughout his adolescent years, he loved to dance; it was through dance that he built confidence and friendships. These connections with his friends – as well as the ability to take his art with him wherever he went – positively impacted his life in several ways; dance kept him active, entertained, and out of trouble. The benefits that were brought into his life (and into Ophelia’s) made it clear to her that more kids needed the opportunity to express themselves and build a community through art and creativity. She also wanted to ensure that kids had a safe space to practice their art – something her son and his friends never had.
