Rooted in Skid Row through music, community, and openhearted inclusion of the most marginalized members of society, Urban Voices Project amplifies artistic expression to improve well-being, strengthen social networks, and inspire individuals to be their own best advocates. Our programming consists of community singing, performing ensemble choir, music education classes, music wellness workshops, and recurring events designed to build community and strengthen access to resources for individuals experiencing homelessness. Funding from the California Arts Council will support general operating costs, including employee training and professional development, paying local artists and choir members, expanding program offerings to other healthcare and social service sites to reach more community members, and training teaching artists/facilitators in this community-driven instructive methodology behind impactful and culturally competent UVP programming.
