The Ink People changes lives by connecting the community with resources for cultural development. We encourage people to exercise their humanity, build civic discourse, and engage their creative potential. The Ink People are actively weaving the arts into the fabric of community.

Even though we are still in temporary facilities, due to earthquake damage to our building, we have had a successful year serving over 270 at risk youth and 5,400 general community members and artists. We support over 60 projects helping to make the community better for all.
