Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, RAIZES COLLECTIVE will invite 15-20 students to attend 4 excursions in the academic year of 2024-2025. RAIZES will arrange in-person workshops with 4 prominent Bay Area Artists before witnessing major artistic works at The Brava Theater, YERBA Buena Center for the Arts, The San Francisco Symphony, and the Youth Speaks Poetry Slam. We work weekly with 250 students, who have self-identified as 35% housing insecure, 10% impacted by the criminal or juvenile justice system, 10% in foster care, and 25% are enrolled in Restorative Justice classes on their campus. Field Trips will be all-inclusive covering the costs of entrance fees, Artist Stipends, Transportation, meals, chaperone stipends, and a 10% Administration expense. With the help of matching funds, Field trips will range from $6000 – $8000 each.
