Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Yeah, Art! will launch an after-school arts education program in partnership with youth facilities such as Youth Uprising and other afterschool site partners in Oakland, CA; thereby increasing our ability to empower Oakland youth living in the lowest quartile of the California Healthy Places Index. This after-school program will emphasize skillbuilding in the creative and technical arts, including but not limited to: Vocal Performance, Songwriting, Music Production and Design.

Yeah, Art! is a Black-founded and operated nonprofit, designed to make arts education more equitable. We bring local Teaching Artists of Color FROM the community to teach in their own communities. This grant will enable Yeah, Art! to broaden our impact beyond school hours, and provide arts education to students who otherwise would not have access to it.

Organization Summary

Arts Education for a New Generation™. Yeah, Art! seeks to empower Bay Area youth with premium arts education that emphasizes technology, creativity and equitable access.

The problem: With school budget cuts, arts programs are often the first thing to get dropped, leading the most vulnerable students to miss out on essential creative skills.

The solution: Yeah, Art! provides accessible, innovative arts programs to underserved communities, equipping students with skills in Music Production, Animation, 3D Modeling and more.

Yeah, Art! offers technology-driven arts education programs tailored for underserved schools, with a focus on students of color in low-income Bay Area districts. Services are delivered by professional, local artists of color who bring their expertise directly to classrooms, creating an engaging and culturally relevant learning environment. Yeah, Art! equips students with in-demand creative skills, fostering both artistic growth and future career opportunities in the arts.
