Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council Grant, the Junior Center of Art & Science will provide a 28-lesson Artist in School Program to 4th graders at 2 culturally and ethnically diverse Title I Oakland Schools. Studying contemporary artists reflective of each community, teaching artists will engage students in activities based on identity and storytelling, study observation and analysis techniques, and guide students to create unique artworks to celebrate and unite each school community.
Organization Summary
The Center provides high quality programs in the arts and sciences. Our center hosts visitors in our five interactive learning spaces including our art studio, maker space, and animal room. Programs are provided both on-site and throughout the Oakland and East Bay Area through school and community partners. Offerings occur during the day, after school and on Saturdays. Classes are taught by professionals in their fields. We are happy to partner with over 40 school and community sites throughout the East Bay Area.
In summer, we provide hands-on arts and science camps for students ages 6 – 17 years old.
Our on-site programs are offered on sliding scale with a policy of no one turned away for lack of funds. All of our programs are low or no-cost with additional scholarships available to those in need.
