With support from the California Arts Council, Arts Benicia will partner with the Benicia Unified School District to provide arts education within the STEAM Wheel program in primary grades at four schools. Artist-teachers will provide instruction in drawing, paper art, and tinkering, ensuring all students have access to art instruction.
Since its formation in 1987, Arts Benicia has established a compelling series of ongoing annual exhibitions, classes for adult, teens, and children, events, and public programs that have contributed significantly to the region’s cultural vitality and attract thousands of visitors each year. A community-based non-profit organization, Arts Benicia serves as a hub for the visual arts community in Benicia and the Historic Arsenal District, and it offers resources and benefits for artists, including opportunities to exhibit and promote their work.
