Creative Street has been conducting free art workshops around Manila area and nearby provinces since May 2018 with this advocacy:

"To be able to share our talents and skills, and create a positive impact in the lives of the Filipino children. We believe that everyone has a talent in art that is just waiting to be tapped and we want to help them unleash their creativity through this initiative."

Doodling with crayons, pencils and other art materials is one of the most enjoyable parts of childhood. Most artists started out because they were inspired when they held and tried out a chosen art material/medium when they were still young.

The group was initially founded to conduct art workshops for the less fortunate children. And with the help of my other volunteer artist friends, we aim to provide these free art lessons to the street children of Manila, hopefully catering to and assisting around 50 kids on every leg of Creative Street. And today, we are not just conducting art workshops to street children but also to juveniles under rehabilitation and even children with special needs. We also started on promoting environmental awareness through art movements. Art talks and forums has also been one of our activities which engages more youth to pursue their art and use creativity and imagination more.

Creative Street (@creativestreet) is a group of young artists and youth volunteers. Most of the original members were my friends and former workmates, but since then the community has grown among common friends and artists. We are now more than 20 who are dedicated to conduct and facilitate free art workshops for the children in the Philippines.

Creative Street started among the street children of Manila with a workshop held at Rizal Park last May 2018. Now our mission and vision is to reach every child in the Philippines, no matter what status they have, and teach them the values of art and crafts.
