Community Impact Statement: In 2025, we served fewer new artisans than in previous years in order to increase community and national impact of works by existing artisans. Working with existing artisans already part of the Blue Legacy network, we increased community and national impact from 36,000 individuals to 94,000 individuals. 80% of our artisans volunteered with us to mentor new, emerging artisans to continue to showcase that art brings hope and that education is appreciated, respected and retained when taught by someone with a shared community background. Community Demographics from All Service Programs: In 2025, 65% of our artisans were BIPOC; 80% were disabled; 75% were seniors over the age of 65; 30% were LGBTQ+; 70% were veterans or active service members, and 55% grew up in poverty. Mission Statement: To educate and empower authors, actors, filmmakers, designers, and musicians who have been marginalized due to age, disability, economic status or other limiting factor while providing training in arts careers. To maintain free and low-cost service programs including a campus of creative studios and housing.
