A Little Creativity Can Make a Big Difference
We’re building a community where art brings people together, young voices are encouraged, and everyone has a chance to explore their creativity.
Our Story
A Vision Built Around Art & Community: Arts After Dark is a developing community arts initiative in Las Vegas founded by artist Nivia Bejarano. Inspired by the power of creativity and connection, Arts After Dark is working to make artistic experiences more accessible to young people, families, and community members who may face barriers to traditional arts education.
Through free weekly classes, open studio sessions, community activities, and youth-focused programming, we’re creating opportunities for people to try something new, express themselves, and connect with others in a welcoming environment.
Our Mission
Everyone Deserves a Creative Outlet: We believe art should be something everyone has the opportunity to experience. It can inspire confidence, encourage self-expression, spark new ideas, and help people feel connected to their community.
Our mission is to expand access to creative experiences through community-centered arts education, youth enrichment, artist opportunities, and outreach that supports underserved families and vulnerable young people.
Our Vision for the Community
Arts After Dark is growing its vision for a creative community where young people, families, artists, and neighbors can come together to learn, make art, share ideas, and support one another.
With the help of volunteers, community partners, sponsors, and supporters, we hope to continue expanding access to creative activities and opportunities throughout Las Vegas.
Creativity Has No Limits
Art Is for Everyone
Creative opportunities should be welcoming and accessible, regardless of someone’s background or experience.
Community Makes Us Stronger
Bringing people together through shared experiences helps create meaningful connections and a greater sense of belonging.
Every Young Person Deserves Opportunity
We want young people to have welcoming spaces where they can explore their interests, discover their talents, and express themselves creatively.
Help Us Make Room for More Creativity
Every new connection helps us build toward a community where more people can experience the joy of creating.
Whether you have a creative skill to share, time to volunteer, supplies to contribute, or an idea for a partnership, there’s a place for you at Arts After Dark.
