Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Center for Community Arts will deepen partnerships with local public schools in Concord and Walnut Creek and expand its afterschool arts programs to reach up to 160 mostly low-income students in grades 1-8. Multi-session residencies with professional teaching artists at each school site will allow students to focus on a single artistic discipline to enable in-depth skill-building and engagement and will share their learning in a culminating event.
Organization Summary
In addition to standalone and sequential classes and workshops, performances, preschools, camps and exhibitions at our four locations, Center for Community Arts offers programming at community centers and local schools that foster artistic development, engagement, and connection for those who can’t afford our center-based programs. Current community program partners include Trinity Center (serving homeless and low-income adults), Life Steps Foundation, two local school districts, and arts residencies serving special needs schools through the Contra County Office of Education.
