Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the MUCKENTHALER CULTURAL CENTER FOUNDATION will provide 2 types of Visual Arts programs in partnership w/ GEO Reentry Services, through which formerly incarcerated students will not only learn charcoal/pastel and ceramics skills and techniques, but will also learn how to constructively express themselves, while building their confidence, discipline & self-esteem. The arts lessons will be correlated with the other programs the students participate in at GEO Reentry Services, such as Restorative Justice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anger Management, Parenting Skills, and Employment Readiness program. We will also present culminating exhibits to which friends, family, staff and probation officers are invited, where the students can craft and present stories of their artistic and rehabilitative journey to help w/ reunification with family, times when lives are improved w/good communication skills.
