"SEEN" exhibits, performances, and events are organized by a team of Boulder area students and adults in collaboration with Creativity Alive - a multi-disciplinary community arts organization in Boulder, Colorado. Teen-inspired for the whole community.

 

Through intergenerational creative events and experiences, we aim to cultivate mental health, creative expression, and human connection.​
