What I like about The Imagine Bus Project is that it keeps you busy… instead of running around driving your parents crazy you get to draw and paint and color. You can even do homework if you have to. I like it when other people look at my art. It's fun.

MISSION AND HISTORY
The mission of The Imagine Bus Project (TIBP) is to reach out to children and youth in underserved communities to provide sustained, positive and creative outlets for personal expression using visual arts techniques. TIBP was founded in 1998 as a single mobile art bus studio and has since experienced significant growth in the delivery of its services to underserved children and youth. We have evolved from a single mobile art studio into a prominent arts education organization providing classes in partnership with public schools and additional partnering agencies.

PROGRAMS
The Imagine Bus Project partners with local school districts, juvenile detention centers, after school programs, and community based organizations to provide professional teaching artists who bring thoughtful ideas, age appropriate curricula, and projects that empower children and youth to explore their creative potential, to work collaboratively, to develop critical thinking skills, and to build confidence and self-esteem.
