With support from the California Arts Council, Yeah, Art! will continue bringing free, tech-forward arts programming to underfunded schools. Founded and led by Black artists, we prioritize students of color by hiring Teaching Artists of Color to teach in their own communities.
Since initial CAC funding in 2022, we’ve grown from 1 school partnership to over 15 schools by 2026. We’ve launched a digital illustration program with Best Buy Teen Tech Centers, and expanded our curriculum across music, animation, and design. Our students’ original artwork will be featured at the top of the Salesforce Tower — making them the youngest artists ever exhibited in the San Francisco skyline.
This funding will support staff, Teaching Artists, and continued growth, ensuring students gain in-demand creative skills and access to the career pathways of the future.
