OUR MISSION
Creative Expression
Welcome to CREATE, a nonprofit rooted in Oakland, California, offering a different kind of lifeline for youth through the power of art, community, and mentorship.
We believe that creativity can transform lives — because it transformed mine. Whether you’re already deep in your art journey or just looking for a place to explore who you are and where you’re going, this is a space for you. For youth ages 12–24, especially those who’ve been in or around the system, CREATE offers:
🎨 A platform to express yourself
🧠 A place to grow your skills and your mindset
🫂 A community that sees your potential
THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m DeAndre
I taught myself to paint during an 8.5-year sentence in federal prison. What started as a way to pass time became my passion, and eventually, my profession.
Since coming home, I’ve sold art all over the world. I’ve worked with celebrities, been featured in major media, and become a recognized artist, but more importantly, I’ve become a community mentor. And that’s what CREATE is all about.
