Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Arts Benicia will initiate a printmaking program for teens and young adults, building on its long-time signature Printmakers’ Workshop founded in 2001 by Bill Harsh. The project will reach out to youth in disadvantaged and diverse segments of the community to provide uplifting and formative art education experiences. It will ensure the development of the next generation of California printmakers by providing access to instruction, mentoring, and equipment that would otherwise not be accessible.
Organization Summary
