Join us for our Fall 2025 culminating event!

Sanctuary Everywhere: Youth Arts Festival joyfully celebrates the vibrant creative expressions of all the young artists who participated in the A Reason to Survive (ARTS) programs this Fall 2025 season.

Young artists from National City and the South Bay, alongside professional teaching artists, dive into various creative processes that encourage them to reflect on their identities and the world around them.

Together, they explore their unique stories, build meaningful connections, and engage with the thriving communities around them by exploring the lessons that nature teaches us.

Join us on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 12:00 to 3:00 pm to discover the amazing artworks from each program and hear inspiring stories directly from the talented young individuals who took part in this journey!
