Maxtivity is a nonprofit arts studio designed to foster creativity, well-being, and belonging. We provide arts-powered education and community programs that amplify the assets and address the needs of Philomath, Benton County, and beyond. 

We create community, and the community creates us: the dozens of local teaching artists who share their talents, the dozens more volunteers offering nearly 1000 hours of their time, 45 partner organizations and schools, and over 6000 community members who participated in our programs in the past year alone. And the generosity of donors like you help sustain our mission to maximize the creativity of our community.
