April is Arts, Culture and Creativity Month, and this year Fremont Creates invites the community to take part in something collaborative and joyful with the launch of its Create, Connect, Celebrate campaign.
Founded in 2023, Fremont Creates has grown into a vibrant platform supporting artists, nonprofits and creative businesses. Through public art, grants, and partnerships, our organization has consistently worked to make creativity accessible to everyone.
The 2026 campaign theme—Create, Connect, Celebrate—captures this vision perfectly. Create speaks to artistic expression in all its forms. Connect highlights the power of creativity to bring people together. Celebrate is a reminder to honor the stories, talents and collaborations that make Fremont unique.
At the heart of this year’s campaign are events designed to engage the community in different ways. The first is a bold, playful highlight: community-wide Yarnbombing. Yarnbombing—also known as yarn graffiti—is a form of street art that uses knitted or crocheted pieces to wrap trees, poles and other public fixtures in colorful fiber art.
Fremont Creates is calling on residents of all ages and skill levels to create individual pieces at home, join group workshops or collaborate with neighbors and local organizations. The finished works will be installed in Fremont and displayed throughout the month of April.
The second major event is a Visual Arts Pop‑Up Event taking place at the Downtown Event Center on April 26. This one‑day showcase will spotlight local visual artists and creatives, offering the community an opportunity to experience Fremont’s artistic talent up close.
Along with the Visual Arts Pop-Up, the Fremont Creates’ Makerspace, will again provide a hands-on environment designed for experimentation, learning and collaboration for all ages.
