Why “Our Turn”?

Hasn’t it been “their turn” long enough?

We’re all about creating hands-on, inspiring workshops that help change-makers of all kinds—especially youth—unlock their potential.

Aviva works with amazing teaching artists throughout the Pacific Northwest to design experiences that are creative, engaging, and impactful.

Our workshops are all about sparking new ideas, building leadership skills, and fostering positive change.

We believe in the power of art, collaboration, and creativity to drive real change—and we’re here to help you make that happen.

Aviva often collaborates with a community of artists and practitioners across disciplines.

Through consultation, equity assessments, guest teaching, arts-integration, and building partnerships; Aviva strives to tailor programs that are the “right fit” for each client . Our Turn seeks to bridge the gaps between social-emotional learning, academia, and open spaces. In addition to local partnerships and artist residencies, Aviva has developed youth programs internationally in Cuba and Tanzania.
