Program areas at Creative Girls Rock
The cgr master class is a core program of Creative Girls Rock designed to offer a safe community space for young Girls (ages 6+) and women to learn and engage in arts and crafts, artistic design, visual arts and empowerment workshops to explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, cope with stress, anxiety and boost self-esteem. Cgr hosted several master classes with 300+ participants. Beginning in 2023, cgr partnered with purpose prep academy to host several after school master classes during their aftercare programming.
In march 2022, the cgr mobile mural project was created to teach young Girls and women the proper tools and methods of creating a mural painting. This project provided an artistic and cultural experience by engaging and teaching participants the proper form of mural art-making, exhibiting and promoting cultural equity in project design, process and content. We created 5 mobile murals tailored to "women's history month" that were displayed throughout greater nashville for the community to witness the work from the participants. In addition, Creative Girls Rock completed 3 structural murals by june 30, 2023 at jones paideia elementary school, napier elementary school and the healing trust foundation.
Creative Girls Rock partnered with metro nashville police and metro nashville public schools for the back-2-school backpack bash to benefit underserved families within the greater nashville community. Over 10,000+ backpacks filled with school supplies to families on the august 6, 2022 event.
In partnership with purpose prep academy, Creative Girls Rock established Creative kids Rock summer boost camp under our cgr youth development initiative that invites all youth to utilize their imagination to express themselves through Creative arts. Through the Creative kids Rock program in partnership with metro nashville public schools (mnps), we offer Creative art programming for all youth to engage in creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression, fostering a well-rounded education. These services can contribute to improved cognitive skills, emotional development, and a sense of inclusivity among students.
