Creative Catalyst Foundation

I'm Christina Xiao, a high school student at Lexington High School and the founder of the Creative Catalyst Foundation. I started this organization because I know firsthand how transformative art can be in a young person's life.

​

Growing up, I was lucky to have access to quality art education. It helped shape who I am and fueled my passion for creativity. But I also know that not every child has the same opportunities. Financial limitations and lack of resources too often prevent kids from exploring their interests, especially in the arts.

​

Through the Creative Catalyst Foundation, I'm working to change that. By bringing together passionate, talented student artists, we aim to provide free art education to underserved children, helping them discover new interests, build confidence, and pursue their creative potential, just like I’ve had the chance to do. This website and most of the organizing behind CCF are student-run, built and managed by me with support only where needed.
