What we do

Programs co-created with the community.

BOLD programs are designed with the artists, families, schools, and libraries who bring them to life.

Ages served

Most programs welcome ages 3–12, with intergenerational events open to all.

Family participation

Caregivers and kids learn side by side — never drop-off.

Languages

Every language a family speaks is welcomed, including English.
