With support from California Arts Council, BLUE LINE ARTS will deliver the Tour Talk Create program, bringing students from under-resourced schools to participate in an interactive guided tour of contemporary exhibitions, incorporating a hands-on art activity inspired by the artwork on display led by teaching artists. VAPA Standards based study guides connect the in-person experience to the classroom and support teacher confidence for incorporating more art lessons into their curriculum.
Blue Line Arts is a gallery and arts center that offers a range of educational and community programs within the visual arts.

-Annually, the gallery hosts the SCG Artist Residency and Teaching program twice a year, and offers a variety of professional development workshops for working artists.
-The Art at Work program expands available exhibition opportunities to local artists through partnerships with local businesses.
-The Internship program provides college students and recent graduates with hands-on experience to prepare them for a successful transition into an arts or nonprofit career field.

Public Art:
