Create Something

Five Pack Studios was built on the belief that creativity isn’t just an outlet- it’s a lifeline. Our founder knows firsthand how creative work can be a path to healing, stability, and purpose. Woodwork became his therapy during personal challenges, and now, through this initiative, we’re making sure others have the same opportunity.

Whether it’s art, music, or craftsmanship, creative expression can transform lives. But too often, financial barriers stand in the way. That’s where we come in, and it’s why we’re building a revolutionary ecosystem.

Our mission is to raise awareness and provide the tools and resources that make creative expression accessible, ensuring low-income households have the opportunity to explore, build, and thrive. Help us break barriers by supporting the cause today.

Music lessons, instruments, art supplies, studio fees, makerspace memberships, and more- if it fuels creativity and you’re facing financial challenges, we’re here to ensure nothing stands between you and the opportunity to Create Something.

When times are especially tough… Create Something.

Industry Partnerships

We are working tirelessly to establish strategic partnerships in the appropriate fields to provide direct resources and help take the financial edge off your passions. By funding accounts for craft stores, studios, private teachers, even mental health resources or through sponsoring hobby shops directly by providing supplies, our aim is to ease access to the pursuit of happiness.

Creative outlets help people process emotions, find purpose, and break free from destructive cycles. Now, we’re inviting YOU to help spread that message. Through this contest, we want to showcase the real, personal impact of creativity on mental health- and we need your voice to make it happen.

Creator Ecosystem

The Soul of the Initiative

This is where the Create Something Initiative comes to life- providing real, tangible support for creators through financial aid, wellness resources, education, and an empowered marketplace.

Wellness support includes direct resources from strategic partners, giving creators access to mental health assistance and stress-relief programs while leaning into other awareness initiatives.

Ascend, the education & skill-building suite connects creators with expert training, classes, and workshops supported by industry leaders, with a robust gateway for craft fairs and art shows.

The Resonance suite provides Musical artists with a dedicated space to showcase their talent, schedule studio time, connect with event organizers, and book live performances.

Financial aid helps cover the cost of tools, materials, and creative opportunities. Our Solace suite ensures that financial hardships never stand in the way of creative expression and innovation.

Our empowered marketplace within Luster ensures revenue is recirculated to support financial aid and exclusive Founder perks, providing special subsidized pricing for buyers while creators receive full payment.

Join the Foundry to claim exclusive early Beta access to the Ecosystem!

The “Create Something” initiative is a primary motivator for the products and services we offer. At this time, funding comes solely from your contributions, but the initiative will eventually receive support directly from us in accordance with our core mission. Your support in this early phase is critical to ensuring forward momentum.

While we are not yet able to provide financial aid while the ecosystem is in development, now is the time to take action and make it possible. Join us in breaking down barriers and making creativity accessible to everyone.

Don’t get trapped in a cycle of self-destruction. Create Something.

  • “Creative activities aren’t just for fun, they can help us take a step back from the daily grind, use our brains differently, and relax. Picking up that paintbrush or solving a tricky puzzle can truly move us to a different mindset.”

    Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A

  • “Partaking in creative outlets creates stronger social relationships, reduces stress, and allows us to develop a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Creative outlets can play an important part in acknowledging deep-seated emotions and experiences, giving them a tangible existence, and making them easier to process.”

  • “Creative activities, ranging from music to visual arts, are found to reduce stress and anxiety and improve mood. They are not just hobbies. In fact, creative outlets are tools for wellness. They help to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety by promoting relaxation, providing a sense of control, and enabling self-expression.”
