Inspiration is our cornerstone.
Elevate Expression
We elevate underrepresented artists by hosting exciting painting parties and writing workshops that feature local creatives at our art-centered events, developing strategic partnerships with other arts organizations to feature their work, and creating engaging online communities for them to connect to other artists.
Empower Education
We work with community partners to provide integrated educational experiences for school-age participants to develop literacy in film, creative writing, and arts culture. We facilitate writing, revision, and publication workshops for poets with a wide range of skill levels and interests. Contact us to bring us to your classroom or community center.
Energize Engagement
We host innovative experiences for participants to unwind, connect, and restore. Our painting and poetry parties allow KayJo FAM to eat great food, listen to music, and create art in real-time with their friends. These events are customized for diverse audiences and ages. We are always thrilled to create a unique fundraising or team-building experience for your group, team, or staff.
Our Practice
KayJo community projects and programs tell the stories of underrepresented people and engage underserved communities.
We must let art help us.

Our Service
Our service is centers on building meaningful connections, relationships, and communities. Our events go far beyond entertainment. Our participants leave changed, more aware, more connected, and more relaxed. They carry that change with them back into their communities. We integrate other forms of art and experience into our painting events. We also are invested in the development of emerging artists in our community. We see ourselves as cultivators and sustainers of art through the relationships we build, one at a time.
