Freddie the Bus is ready to park n’ pARTy!
Now let’s go use our imagi(c)nations — where creativity meets connection, and joy rides shotgun.
Meet Freddie, our vintage bus – the heart and wheels of Jumpstart Art. Freddie is a rolling art studio designed to bring creativity anywhere to kids, families, and communities.
Because not every child has access to arts programming, we decided to take the studio on the road. Inside Freddie, art becomes play, play becomes healing, and every stop is a chance to connect.
From pop-up art classes and birthday parties to family workshops and festivals, Jumpstart Art makes it easy (and fun) to add a splash of color, imagination, and hands-on creativity wherever you gather.

“When we put the arts to use, they help us amplify the positive emotions, like joy and happiness, helping to usher in an overall sense of well-being.”
