June 22, 2021, Apple announced Today at Apple Creative Studios, a global initiative that will provide career-building mentorship, professional industry skills training, creative resources, and access to Apple’s full product lineup of iPhone, iPad, and Mac to underrepresented communities across the globe. Creative Studios launched first in Los Angeles and Beijing, followed then by Bangkok, London, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. later this year.

In each city, Apple is working hand-in-hand with nonprofit community organizations to connect youth with mentors and established artists.

Launched September 18, Today at Apple Creative Studios - Chicago worked with youth in Little Village to amplify up-and-coming talents’ unique stories through photography and illustration. In collaboration with community partners Yollocalli Arts Reach, Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy, and Chicago Architecture Biennial, Apple will provide free arts and cultural programming across five weeks to aspiring artists and photographers, offering the tools they need to embark on their creative journey.
