The CCAs celebrate and honor the world’s most inspiring and impactful creators — fierce innovators as we like to call them. The honorees are unique in transcending fields and industries — spanning the arts, sciences, technology, and education.
All proceeds from the CCAs, our main fundraiser, fund the delivery of our Learn with Creative Confidence curriculum to schools across New York City and the country.
