A 501c3 Dedicated to Active Education
About Us
Beginning in 2016 Celebrate Your Talent has made active educational experiences its focus.....research shows that hands on learning increases skills retention, improves performance and increases innovation and initiative among other positive outcomes. With this in mind we have four key pillars that form our base.
We help people identify, develop, excel and share their talent.
We understand that people can go Beyond Words.
We provide materials and an opportunity to use them.
We provide community participation, everyone's invited.
We are committed to the long term development of projects that increase this style of education. We call it Story Arts. From a small canvas to a live production every person and piece is important.
Join Us!
Beyond Words Program
The Beyond Words program provides hands on experience working in different parts of story arts and the story art business. At our live events each story begins with a setting. Using bases such as 2.5 x 2.5 canvas with easel or 4" x 4" canvas magnet, wooden cut outs and other materials, participants of all ages can craft a mixed media art piece. The materials are user friendly and safe with easy clean up. It's our gift for a monetary donation. Those that don't control money and would like to participate are welcome to our Make and Stay program. Make and Stay allows individuals to participate fully and have their art displayed and saved at celebrateyourtalent.art. Here they can see their art displayed for purchase, track sales, and purchase it themselves later.
Choose a base to work on.
Choose a work space.
Paint and add the embellishments desired.
Choose a colored backing and package sleeve for safe keeping.
Celebrateyourtalent.art
Celebrateyourtalent.art is the website where the art created is available for purchase. Artists that participate in our programs have the opportunity to have their pieces posted here. The pieces are available in prints and printed materials, signed and numbered prints and the original piece. Make and Stay program pieces allow those not in control of money to participate fully with their pieces saved and available for print. 100% of the proceeds are put back into the program to further the materials offered and to expand to free in person classes as soon as possible.

Thoughts for ordering
Step 1-What type of base/bases would you like.
Step 2-Is there a theme you have in mind or special "add on" pieces you'd like.
Step 3-We'll be happy to help you with the process, when, where, how many.
Participating Made Easy
We believe that participating at all levels should be easy, comfortable, and fun. From the smallest to the largest, each part is important and builds so that everyone can enjoy helping. Whatever word we use, participate/volunteer/donate, it means helping bring the ideas to life. We encourage children and their parents to send pictures/screenshots of materials they think would be fun to add. People that need volunteer hours for work or school can contact us and they can help design and plan an entire live event from home or school. People that would like to donate extra materials they are no longer using are welcome to and a receipt for the value of the materials can be issued if they would like. Large donors are encouraged to consider and help us build out our wish list. Our goal is to start with the tiny pieces that are the beginning of a background and build to full performances at the highest level with audience participation. This scale requires costumes, storage, land, trucks, media and more. The benefit for all is well worth the effort and the ability to share with the homebound/hospital bound and their families makes it even more exciting.
Step 1-How would you like to participate or help.

Step 3-Smile and have fun.
