Project Description
With the support of the California Arts Council, Junior Center of Art and Science will continue to engage in arts-integrated programming with school and community partners. We have returned to our updated facility equipped with multiple interactive learning spaces that meet the needs of families and youth ages 2-17. This grant would allow us to expand onsite operations, and grow our outreach efforts with our local community. Despite our setbacks, we have been able to build new programs, fundraise for our scholarship and sliding scale, and form new community partners, because we remain steadfast in our commitment to arts and science education for all.
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.
