Open Canvas

Our mission is to create a safe space to the youth in the community to be able to express their creativeness through photos and media. There is a lack of places in the Black communities in Jacksonville, Florida that gives us the option to display our creativity through a media outlet.

Open Canvas would be the first interactive studio to bring a various rooms that displays our culture where our community can feel comfortable expressing themselves. We would have a podcast room as well created for anyone that is interested in getting into the podcast or media industry. We are seeking funding from individuals that can see our vision to enhance the opportunity for creativity.  The funds allocated will be spent on leasing a building, designing each room, studio equipment, and hiring employees.

Our team consists of three African-American single mothers (Tiffany Long, Nicole Eady, Kathleen Daniels) whom wanted to invest in the community by giving back an experience that isn't always available.  Thank you for taking the time out to support us and pour into our community. None of this would be possible without you. We at Open Canvas, are forever grateful that you saw fit to help us grow!
