Crealde School of Art

36
Crealdé Arts, Inc. was founded in 1975 by William Jenkins to promote local artists by providing studio and gallery space. With profits earned from sales and rentals, Jenkins established ArtReach to provide art experiences to seniors and disabled individuals. By 1978, Crealdé evolved into a teaching center and became a 501-3-C organization. In the 1980s, three artistic departments were established and the curriculum was expanded. A fine arts gallery was established in 1980 and in 1996 the gallery was named after Crealdé’s founder and his wife.

Throughout the 1990s, Crealdé expanded on its mission, established a scholarship fund, launched the new emerging artist programs, and deepened its commitment to make the arts available to the widest segment of the population.

By the late 1990s, Crealdé had established three permanent outreach sites to conduct free classes for children, teens, and seniors in under-served communities. In addition, over 20 collaborative public-art projects; murals, sculptures, and photo-documentaries; have been conducted through partnerships with other non-profit organizations including Boys & Girls Club and the Farmworker Association, and funded by many private foundations.
