25 Years of Making Artistic Noise

Since 2001, Artistic Noise has created pathways for system-impacted young people to heal, make art, earn income, and become leaders.

Help us raise $50,000 by December 31 to invest in the next generation.

We provide paid studio work for systems-impacted teens and young adults at $17.50 per hour, free art therapy, Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) programming at the Midtown Community Justice Center, and long-term alumni residencies. 

The program serves more than 500 participants annually. Over half of our staff are former participants.

Our Impact:

Rebecca (26)

“When I joined Artistic Noise, I had just spent about 14 months in a residential treatment center. I was coming out of a difficult and disorienting time and had missed out on forming social connections during adolescence. Artistic Noise gave me a support system. 

Working with Artistic Noise has strengthened my sense of self. I’m proud of who I am and how others see me: dependable and responsible. The support I received helped me develop these qualities, and they continue to create opportunities for me.

I feel confident in imagining my future. I’m no longer thinking from a place of limitation, but from a place of possibility. I can envision what I want for my life and how it contributes to the world."
