Creative Odyssey

Our mission at Creative Odyssey is to offer low cost classes to ensure that every child in the greater Detroit area and globally have an opportunity to express themselves through all forms of ART! Creative Odyssey has been a vision of its founder, Samantha Vann, since childhood. She wanted to create a safe space for children to be educated and uplifted. Creative Odyssey has been that safe space and a virtual hub for collaboration with artists all over the world and local children of Detroit since January 1, 2020. Since its beginning, Creative Odyssey has strived to purchase and deliver art supplies to youth, offer virtual art classes, and ensure children remain engaged with arts, even during the uncertain times of the pandemic. The effect was lasting. The organization began with 2 classes from 2 artist(s), serving 15 children. It has grown to offer 20+ classes throughout the year, serving 250+ children and creating wonderful partnerships with 20+ artists all over the world.
