Who We Are

The Center for ArtEsteem empowers individuals to be self-aware and inspired through art, creativity, and education, making positive choices to break the cycle of violence for themselves and their communities.

For 36 years, we have provided opportunities for creative expression to children, youth, and families in Oakland and the greater East Bay.
