Art Buddies is a primary and secondary education-focused organization that runs a structured after-school mentorship program pairing underprivileged children with volunteers from creative fields. Over 6 to 12 weeks, participating youth collaborate with mentors to develop and document ambitious creative projects, culminating in a celebratory showcase with professional photos, a presentation, and a parade. The program emphasizes one-on-one attention and journaled reflection to help kids discover their creative gifts, build self-belief, and envision a brighter future. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Art Buddies has operated since 1994 and engages volunteers from diverse creative disciplines, including design, film, photography, illustration, public relations, and architecture. The organization positions itself within the education sector, applying mentoring to expand opportunities for children who face resource limitations. A recent development noted is a collaboration with Downtown Minneapolis in 2021 as part of the Pianos on Parade program, indicating ongoing community partnerships.
