Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council ArtHatch will work with a group of teens from Compact, who are participating in a court ordered/probation after school program, in creating, producing, and installing a full art exhibition. Racial Equity and Social Justice are at the center of all programs at ArtHatch. Teens will work with artists from around the world to encourage use of their Youth Voices and Collective Action to construct the art and participate in all aspects of producing an exhibition. The project will engage youth in writing and sending press releases, creating promotional materials, hanging and lighting the exhibition, and planning and attending the opening reception. At the end of the exhibition teens will assist in deconstructing the exhibit including, packing, mailing, patching and painting the gallery space.

Organization Summary

ArtHatch provides free opening receptions for new exhibitions, Q and A artist sessions and talks, open studios, and live music free for the public 12 times per year.
We also provide 24/7 studio space for 20 local artists and exhibition space for an additional 21 artists. Additionally, we host regular monthly field trips for Escondido high schools and colleges. Lastly, we have a free in depth teen arts program for at risk teens with a focus on teens from single parent households, low income families, teens in the foster care system, and teens performing court ordered after school program hours.
