‘Creo’ founder Olaoluwa Olatunbosun hopes his art workshops will help at-risk youth in the Sault

While expressing creativity can take a lot of courage, everyone has the ability to share their talents and discover new ones.

That’s when he came up with the idea to form Creo, a program intended to provide training and spaces for youth looking to express their creative abilities.During his time in southern Ontario, Olatunbosun was taking computer science, and received a summer job as a web designer for his church in Toronto. While the program didn’t work out, he discovered his passion for graphic design, and ultimately, his calling for artistry.

“This was created with the intent to combat the drug use in Sault Ste. Marie,” he says. “There’s just so much that these kids impacted by drugs deserve, and they didn’t get. And because they didn’t get it, they’re indulging in things that are tarnishing their future. I want to be able to create a space in the Sault where people can find a way to keep those things aside and focus on something else.

Olatunbosum is planning to launch his first Creo class at United Baptist in the coming weeks with a water colouring workshop.
