Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, CLARA will collaborate with artist E. Moncell Durden to support curriculum development and training of teaching artists for the CLARA Artist Residency programs. This will ensure increased arts education opportunities for underserved students in 3 Sacramento public school districts, all of which are targeted for investment based on key metrics in the California Healthy Places Index.
Organization Summary
CLARA provides 6,800 students in Sacramento County with in-school artist residencies, where a working artist comes to their class for an hour per week over 10 weeks to explore a specific genre of dance, music, or theatre. We also provide 50,000 students with digital access to arts learning through our virtual platform, CLARA Classroom. And, about 200 elementary age students have their first experiences in an array of performing arts genres through CLARA’s Performing Arts Summer Camp. A portion of these programs are donated free of charge to the students of Sacramento City Unified School District, as rent for the decommissioned school building that CLARA now manages to be a home for six diverse cultural organizations in our community.
