In 2009, Chase Jarvis and Craig Swanson started kicking around the idea of making workshops to inspire and support people with the tools to develop their creative skills. The goal was to take a fresh approach to education - to give anyone interested access to visionaries, leaders, and professionals who are doing the work. So they experimented. In December of that year, the team rolled out a Jason Hoppe Photoshop class and the class actually drove “bacon” to one of the top trending terms for the day on Twitter. The amount of traffic driven to our pages validated for the team that we had an audience - that we were onto something.

We believe there’s a creator in all of us. From the moment we struck fire, we met our challenges with creative tools. We make dreams come true, problem-solve, and express ourselves through creativity. It shapes our identity and ties us together. Creativity gives us hope - helps us innovate and imagine. It’s how we change the world.

We believe in access to quality education for everyone. Education opens up doors, breaks down barriers, fosters growth and collaboration. It’s the building block for change. Equality, creativity, humanity have no boundaries.
