Building a generation of young creators.
Young Creators Collective is a long-term creative education initiative that supports art learning, student-led teaching, and accessible workshops for kids and teens at every stage of their artistic journey.
Make art education joyful, accessible, and student-led.
We believe creativity is a skill every child deserves to develop — not a luxury. The Collective exists to make sure the next wave of artists, designers, and makers gets a confident start.
Joyful
Classes are playful and pressure-free. Mistakes are encouraged, finished work is celebrated.
Accessible
Low cost, all supplies included, small groups. No prior experience or expensive materials required.
Student-led
Older students teach younger ones. Skills compound, leadership grows, and community forms.

Disha Puradkar
Disha is a young artist with a deep love for both traditional and digital art — from watercolor and colored pencil to digital illustration and craft-based projects.
She loves working with kids and is genuinely excited to teach — bringing a calm, playful approach designed for short attention spans and big imaginations.
She founded the Young Creators Collective to give kids in her community a real, structured place to explore art — without intimidation, without huge costs, and with someone genuinely excited to be there.
