The mission of Vallejo Teaching Artists is to provide safe and supportive spaces for the youth of Vallejo to develop and share their artistic craft, to express their creative voice with confidence, and to influence the landscape of social justice. We value its purpose for the important impact youth have on humanity. We are committed to empowering youth to create artistic works that represent, honor and celebrate the diversity of our social and cultural differences. We are dedicated to building visual and performance literacy that supports academic, social and emotional learning toward reaching individual potential.
