A Creative Learning Center Expands Art and Technology Training in Cortez

Many Cortez residents, especially youth, lack opportunities to explore the performing arts, filmmaking, robotics, and other creative pursuits that could lead to future careers. After seeing a similar program thrive in another community, two local educators wanted to create a space where Cortez residents could develop these skills close to home. Their idea was to establish a creative learning center that would offer classes and activities on a sliding scale, making arts and technology education accessible to all Cortez children. LOR’s funding helped cover the legal fees and application costs the educators needed to establish a nonprofit, laying the groundwork for a new community space where Cortez youth and adults can explore their creativity and build skills for future careers.
