Illinois-based Flashpoint Creative Arts Inc recently received federal tax exemption as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 

Co-founders Janice Borla and Jack Mouse established Flashpoint to promote greater understanding and participation in the art of improvisation with innovative artistic and educational experiences that draw people more deeply into the improvisatory process.  Improvisation is instantaneous creativity and problem-solving.  An essential like-skill, it has diverse applications not only in music and the arts but in many facets of daily life.


One of its current projects is a "Jazz as Therapy" initiative for students with special needs, in partnership with Little Friends of Naperville and made possible by the Rotary Foundation.
