Creative Netwerk is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 45-2107249) that inspires, educates, and builds community through dance culture. Creative Netwerk brings high-quality dance programming to communities throughout the country who would otherwise not have access to such opportunities (weekly classes in LA, NYC, Chicago, Santa Barbara, Des Moines, and more). Creative Netwerk is dedicated to the performance and preservation of American-based art forms created by African-American and Latinx communities. We develop the next generation of leaders, build a vibrant network of artists, and increase access to cultural education to strengthen our multicultural movement. We promote equity, empowerment, and healing through arts education for all ages. Through our programming, we address risk factors in the lives of under-resourced youth; contribute to the growth and diversification of the arts and entertainment industry; provide professional development opportunities to creatives within our netwerk; and help increase school engagement and career success for youth of low-income communities.
