Arts After School

Arts After School engaged the local public school system. Students explored the visual arts through hands on projects, gallery visits, and art history. During its first semester, students delved into the elements and principals of art with a new topic every two weeks. The following semester moved through major art movements. 

Picturing Homelessness

Picturing Homeless was an education initiative partnership with the children's and youth programs at the local homeless and at risk service center. Participants, grades 1-5, were challenged to explore stereotypes and needs related to family, shelter, food, and pets through collaborative drawings made by small groups of children that were printed for installation on exterior windows of the center.

Photography and Social Justice

Photography and Social Justice was an education initiative partnership with the children's and youth programs at the local homeless and at risk service center. Youth, ages 11-16, participated in conversations about homelessness, and made photographs while walking around the center's neighborhood to express their interests in issues related to social justice. The resulting photographs are on view on the exterior of the center.
