Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the Museum of Children’s Arts will ensure that three Oakland public schools receive high-quality classroom-based art residencies, which consist of arts instruction for students as well as professional development workshops for classroom teachers. Taught by professional Teaching Artists, these sequential, standards-based, arts learning programs reach 9,000 predominantly low-income and academically at-risk East Bay students in grades preK-8 annually.
Organization Summary
MOCHA annually serves 30,000 Bay Area children, youth and their families, in three core program areas: School Programs, through which professional teaching artists lead sequential art lessons in classrooms and after school programs and provide professional development to teachers; Museum Programs, which include exhibits, open studios, field trips, art parties, art camps and family workshops in our downtown Oakland museum; and Community Programs, through which we bring interactive art making and family programming to libraries, recreation centers, festivals and other public venues.
