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.

The ABC Band for Kids

The band has been performing at schools and community events in Billings and the surrounding area for over 10 years.

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!
