Global Creatives Foundation was founded in 2026 by Candice Christian.

As a once starving artist herself and a single mother, she saw a need for development in the art community that would help artists to also become entrepreneurs. Candice studied visual arts in high school graduating from the Lecanto School of Art with an AP portfolio score of 4/5. She continued into college studying at both HCC college in Tampa and Marymount Manhattan College in NYC where she was able to concentrate on her studies in the performing/dramatic arts space. She is now a successful business owner of a fashion production company, an international print magazine, and multiple online fashion boutiques.

Her goal is to eventually open the first Global Creatives Academy of Art. Where students of all ages and backgrounds can come to express their passions for performing and visual arts in a classroom environment without the traditional sense of being in a “school” setting. Art programs have been cut out of so many public places and art is such an important healing component for so many individuals.

Together we can bring back art to our communities, schools, and create artists who no longer have to starve!
