With support from the California Arts Council, the Museum of Children’s Art will provide high-quality classroom-based art residencies in three Oakland public schools in addition to professional development workshops for classroom teachers. Taught by professional Teaching Artists, these standards-based, arts-learning programs will reach 935 under-resourced youth annually in grades K-5.
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.
