With support from the California Arts Council, EPACENTER will launch a one-year long, community-wide neighborhood beautification project in which up to 50 opportunity youth, ages 11-25, in the City of East Palo Alto will create public artworks on pedestrian bridges, electrical boxes, light poles, and buildings across their City.
EPACENTER offers free programming to youth ages 6-25 along four developmental pathways, including:
• Arts education classes that help students develop their 21st Century skills like creativity, teamwork, and perseverance
• Job training and workforce development programs in creative fields that close gaps in skills and build competencies
• Public programs in every art form that enliven the imagination of residents in the region
Through our programming, we are working towards a vibrant Silicon Valley where anyone can explore their talents, realize their creative potential, and enjoy the arts in all forms.
