​Flockworks' focus is on building creative communities through collaborative action

Since 2006 , we have widened access and participation in community arts, bringing people together, and helping shape creative life in our coastal community – with exhibits, events, workshops, collaborative ventures with writers, dancers, and others, art in schools, and art out in the community.
​Engaging children and youth has been a core thread from the beginning. In 2018, when art from elementary children was cut from the Fort Bragg School District budget, Flockworks stepped up with out Art@school Program focused on Dana Gray and Redwood School. Bridging the linguistic and cultural divide is a cornerstone for the role of our Bilingual school Resouce artist to add more support for our Latin@ (48%) students and their families. 

Against the challenges of Covid-19 in 2020, we sharpened our focus on the children in Fort Bragg.  We found creative ways to steadily be there for children – from at-home art support to virtual classroom engagement. And in 2023 Flockworks expanded into full-time management of afterschool programming for the Fort Bragg Unified School District. We serve over 400 children and their their families each week at multiple sites in Fort Bragg. ​
