Catalyst Arts is an initiative of The Center for Creative Resources. Founded in 2003 by Victor Gotesman and Noel Hayashi, CCR grew out of their mutual passion for the arts and a belief that the creation of art is not a choice for artists, but a necessity. They recognize the power of the arts and the artists’ ability to make the world a more beautiful and enlightened place.
