The goal and vision of CCC is “to inspire youth through artistry and creativity while manifesting art’s endless possibilities.” Captivating my Creative Culture (CCC) is a program that is a safe place for minorities that presents a multiplicity of art mediums for the youth to discover and utilize their creative skills, according to the organization’s mission statement. CCC is a program that ensures youth of all ages have access to art and a wide range of art techniques so that they “may never lose sight of their creativity and their gifts.”
