URBAN-15 (Nonprofit )

URBAN-15 creates. We motivate creativity, inspire imagination and bring optimism to our community.

Using Music, Movement and Media, our vision realizes:

  • Productions that merge traditional Latino culture, modern artistic aesthetics, and creative technologies;
  • Educational programs that develop skills and creativity;
  • Life-long access to and participation in artistic exploration for both the artist and the community.

URBAN-15 pursues a philosophy of inclusion that crosses lines of gender, class, race, and religion. Breaking prejudicial barriers of size, age, and norms of physical beauty, we have transformed the way our community celebrates and revolutionized community access to music, media and dance.

Monday/Friday: 9:30 am-6:30 PM Tuesday-Thursday: 9:00 am-9:00 pm

CULTIVATION is our in-house and outreach education program in music, dance and media for youth, senior, and special needs populations, especially those who otherwise would not be able to afford, access nor participate in the arts.

CULTIVATION is a process that nurtures artistic excellence through sequential steps, beginning with exposure to the craft; participation in classes in that craft; and, finally, execution of materials as a completed production.

This is a year-round program, with URBAN-15 arts professionals in the schools, classes and workshops in our studio, and major city-wide concerts. Our programs have served over 10,000 students from 41 schools and community centers.
