Beats, Boards & Brushes (B³) is a Chicago-based nonprofit blending art, music, storytelling, and play to amplify youth, families, and neighborhood voices.

We create welcoming, creative spaces where hip-hop culture, board games, and visual art come together as tools for connection, imagination, and community care. Our work includes hands-on workshops, community events, youth engagement, and the development of original storytelling games like Battle of Concha Corner.

(B³) believes creativity isn’t a luxury ... it’s essential. Whether through a house party, a game night, or a collaborative art experience, we bring people together to build joy, share stories, and invest in communities too often overlooked.

Our events are designed to feel human, accessible, and rooted in culture ... part celebration, part invitation to get involved in something bigger.
