COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

At This Just Happens, we believe that access to art supplies and resources should not be limited by socio-economic status. That's why we provide essential art materials and resources to remove barriers to artistic expression and make it more accessible for young individuals. From affordable starter kits to premium tools, we've got you covered.

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore their creativity and develop their artistic skills. That's why we offer a wide range of arts and crafts activities for kids of all ages and backgrounds. From exploring different mediums to educational resources, we're here to help kids unleash their imagination and have fun while learning.

We value the power of art to bring people together and foster a sense of community. That's why we organize workshops, events, and meetups where artists and crafters can connect, share their work, and learn from each other. Join our vibrant community of like-minded individuals and unleash your creativity!

Hi there! I'm Bret Davis, a proud native of vibrant New Orleans. As a social entrepreneur, my passion lies in transforming spaces through pool renovations, property preservations, and e-commerce ventures. Yet, amidst the hustle, I've always felt a deeper calling. Growing up, art was my refuge, guiding me through life's challenges. It became clear to me that every young person deserves the chance to explore their creativity, regardless of their circumstances. Thus, I founded 'This Just Happens,' a nonprofit dedicated to providing art supplies to youth who may not otherwise have access. Join me in empowering the next generation of artists and creators!"
