"Creative Campus was a really successful experience for staff and students."
"There was a professional development component, and ambassador teachers worked in partnership with Kimzin Creative to develop arts-infused approaches to language development in the classroom. It built capacity for staff to reimagine how we might effectively engage students in learning. For students, they had the opportunity to experiment with different ways of expressing themselves: through movement, through color, drawing, working with clay and other mediums.”
—Katherine Hahn, Principal at El Verano Elementary
“I could not have created this curriculum without Nikko’s guidance."
"His experience, creativity and passion for equitable arts education makes him imperative to the success of arts integrated programming. Every organization could use Nikko’s input. Plus, he is so fun to work with!“
—Lexi Bakkar, Youth Programs Coordinator | Sonoma Community Center
