Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, FUTURENOMIC RESOURCES INCORPORATED DBA Coachella Valley Arts Institute (CVAI) will bridge arts education inequity for HPI underserved communities. Our “Explore AI” project offers free art programs to unhoused youth, integrating art therapy and AI technology in music, animation, and special effects. This initiative promotes racial equity, social justice, and youth voices, fostering healing and mental well-being through rhythm, mindfulness, and energy-medicine techniques.
We will document the journey and transformation of participating youth, culminating in a final project from each student. CAC grant funds will cover program costs, including AI technology, art supplies, and professional instructors. By offering these programs, CVAI aims to improve self-esteem, mental health, and economic status among low-income, at-risk youth, and BIPOC communities, empowering them to explore creativity and build resilience.
