Formed in 2004, this volunteer-run organization offers low-cost (sometimes free) classes designed to let your imagination run wild. “We embrace the creativity that comes from Oakland’s gender, racial, and socio-economic diversity,” says Kristi Holohan, the youth, internships, and community director.
