Since 2005, Beam Center has worked with more than 45,000 young people, alongside a far-reaching community of artists, designers, fabricators, educators, and institutional partners. Together, they have dreamed up and realized projects that would be difficult to accomplish alone.

Rooted in public art and collaborative project-making, Beam Center Art creates opportunities for artists to develop and realize ambitious work, while bringing young people into the creative process as essential collaborators and contributors. Through the exchange of ideas, skills, and experience, we connect artists and young people with the resources, expertise, and relationships needed to bring meaningful projects into the world.
