About Us
The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in 1999 by the four-time Academy Award-recipient, legendary director and creator Chuck Jones. The Center is located in Orange County, California at South Coast Collection, just north of the 405 at Harbor Boulevard. 
 
The Center's vision is a world where creativity is known and experienced in every discipline, by the many, not just the few. 

In today's world, when arts education is practically non-existent, this is an important goal; we are dedicated to reinvigorating the creative spirit and we are doing it through art classes, exhibitions, lectures, and film festivals, all of which spring from the material in the Chuck Jones archive. Jones was a determined saver and his writings, art, and other ephemera from a nine-decade life along with his philosophy of guiding and nurturing instruction form the basis of our programs.
 
If you would like to donate your time or your money to our programs, please contact Sasha Advani at 949-660-7791 x 20107 or [email protected]
