With support from the California Arts Council, MUSEUM OF CHILDRENS ART will implement “Youth Leadership NOW: Futures Visioning through the Arts” designed to deepen creative youth development practices of 60 BIPOC teens over two years; enhancing community-building mindsets focused on an equitable and thriving futuristic model of Oakland in 2045.
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.
