Art Buddies pairs kind adults with children from the Twin Cities highest-needs schools for one-on-one creative mentorship programs. No artistic skills required!

Art Buddies helps kids connect with their imagination, be encouraged to believe in themselves, be inspired to share their ideas and learn creative and problem-solving skills.

Our mentors and students work together to create a one-of-a-kind costume based on the child's imagination-along the way, we spark creativity, build confidence, and spread joy!
