Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, CHAPTER 510 INK will offer 25 short- and long-format creative writing, podcasting, and bookmaking workshops and 18 events for 750 low-income BIPOC and queer Oakland youth annually in 2023-24 and 2024-25. Our work seeks to increase the number of books written by Black, brown and queer youth in the canon of literature and serve the evolution of all Oakland young writers so they can become stronger learners, meaning makers, and agents of change.
Organization Summary
Chapter 510 offers writing, podcasting, and bookmaking workshops to Oakland youth, led by Teaching Artists in affirming and inspiring spaces within a supportive community of volunteers and artists. We also publish our students’ words in beautifully bound and illustrated books and host events to collaborate with and elevate Oakland’s diverse community of artists and creatives.
