Founded in 2015 by Chief Experience Curator, A. S. Carey, Crayons & Culture was created to solve the lack of cultural studies and lack of culturally relevant teaching practices in the public school education system. We recognize, along with our predecessors, that learning must be personal, expansive and empowering. As a result, we offer culturally, politically and technologically relevant experiences for future-ready learners.
Since 2015, we have held facilitated a plethora of workshops, experiences and events to include: Mid-Winter Recess Assata Book Club, Paintings with Berries, Roots and Leaves (A Tribute to George Washington Carver), Creative Kwanzaa, Waffles & Berries: A Toddler’s Brunch, and much more! In 2023, we gained our 501c3 status and expanded our organization to address the severe under education of Black and Brown children in government or philanthropic funded institutions that reside outside of community control. We are Black-led, Black-founded and Baltimore-rooted.
