Juxtaposition Arts (JXTA) is a community-based arts organization that is heavily invested in supporting and promoting young artists. They have teen artists on staff and they are a valued organization in the community. It was opened in 1995 by Peyton Russell and Russel and DeAnna Cummings because they wanted to help underserved teen artists reach their potential. It started as an afterschool program and has grown into so much more. The foundation started bringing in neoteric artists to provide hands-on experience. They established a brick-and-mortar presence in 2004 as they continued to expand. In 2010, they started adding paid positions because many of the youths involved in their programs had to choose between art and work. Now, they are busy with their visual art education and training programs, and they are a thriving organization in the community.
