ABOUT US

 

The Hidden GEM Creative Studios is a 501c3 workforce development organization and social enterprise that is dedicated to advancing the next generation of artists from marginalized communities who are committed to improving cultural, economic, environmental and health equity. By providing mentorship, professional education, employment opportunities and access to professional equipment, we aim to empower the Latina/o/x, Black, Indigenous (BIPOC) filmmakers in the media industry.

Co-founded by independent Black & Brown social justice artists who wanted to support displaced youth, a handful of media professionals came together to form a safe space for artists to build networks and develop businesses, while helping support the next generation of artists. 

Over the years we have partnered to create innovative content for media campaigns, but also design and implement strategic educational programs to advance underrepresented artists.

  • Youth UpRising – Go Digital: Media Career Pathways Program
  • United Roots – UR Media Social Enterprise & United Roots Arts Program
  • Mission Neighborhood Centers – Capitol Campaign Initiative
  • Ashland Reach Youth Center – Media Program and Lab Infrastructure
