Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the Children’s Art Studio Richmond / Taller de Arte Para Niños Richmond will provide quality early childhood, arts-based instruction to under-served children in Richmond, CA. The organization is proposing to evolve its programming to focus exclusively on underserved children and families. The organization is seeking funding to support this change and believes that this shift will address the childcare gaps related to arts curriculum. These changes would provide children and families with access to arts education, and it would create a more inclusive and supportive environment for children and families.The organization believes that the arts can be a powerful tool for social change, and is committed to using the arts to promote understanding and empathy, and to build bridges between people from different backgrounds.
Organization Summary
The Children’s Art Studio Richmond / Taller de Arte Para Niños Richmond provides free art classes in both English and Spanish to children aged 2 – 5 in the Richmond, CA community, regardless of their background or resources. This program is designed to support each individual child to achieve their highest creative potential, while teaching children basic art-making techniques. We emphasize the importance of cooperation and self-help, self- discipline, and assuming responsibility for the use of these materials.
