SPLASH a Youth Arts Workshop

SPLASH is a free youth arts workshop  based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are a nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives through access to quality, no-cost arts education. Serving urban youth, families, and seniors, we offer year-round workshops using the creative process as a tool for personal growth, skill development, and social connection. Through disciplines such as painting, drawing, and collage, we foster creativity, self-confidence, and resilience in the populations we serve.

Our mission is to ensure that underserved youth and their families have equitable access to meaningful arts experiences. We partner with schools, daycare centers, and community programs to provide consistent, high-impact instruction in visual arts. SPLASH is dedicated to nurturing the imagination of every child, building stronger communities through the arts, and creating pathways for long-term arts engagement and subsequent wellbeing.

Serving the Juvenile Center & CommunityWe’re proud to be a consistent presence in the Hamilton County Juvenile Center, offering weekly arts sessions that give young people a positive outlet for self-expression and growth. 

SPLASH believes art should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age.

Here, we empower youth to find their voices through artistic exploration. Additionally, every Friday night, SPLASH brings art-making and a hot meal to families at the McClelland Shelter for Families, providing comfort and creativity in a supportive environment.  At SPLASH, we’re committed to making arts enrichment available to our Chattanooga community and have a free regular weekly pop-up art-class for all ages, at the Main Library, downtown Chattanooga.
