Welcome

The Always Be Creative

It all started with the ABC Band for Kids which has been playing together for over 10 years. In 2017 the band partnered with photographer and filmmaker Jessica Jane Hart, incorporating as the Always Be Creative Organization. Together they have been visiting schools and community events, providing hands on learning experiences, playing concerts,  and conducting cool physics and photography experiments.

The Always Be Creative Organization is a federally recognized 501(c)3 dedicated to arts and science outreach and education.

Our focus is to inspire creativity in children and adults by facilitating hands-on learning opportunities throughout the community.

It is our belief that artistic and scientific engagement can spark valuable creative thinking and problem solving skills that are vital to maintaining a strong and resilient community.

Interactive Photography Exhibits

The images below were all created by community members that visited our pop-up light painting booth at the Billings Art Walk!

The light painting booth was such a success that ABC is now working  to build a permanent exhibit inside of the Wise Wonders Children’s Museum that will allow kids and families to create unique works of art while learning how cameras interpret light!

Interactive Sculptures

With the help of a Space2Place grant from Big Sky Economic Development, we were able to install interactive musical sculptures for public enjoyment in front of the new Wise Wonders Children’s Museum.
We hope to install more of these musical sculptures in parks and public spaces around the state!

Public Video Content Coming Soon!

We are currently working on creating free educational children’s content for web and public television. With this content we will be exploring themes and concepts by taking field trips, speaking with diverse professionals, creating art and crafts and conducting cool science experiments!
