Project Description
With the support from the California Arts Council, OCCTAC will expand on our current partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District to provide equitable visual arts education opportunities after school hours for a middle school located in one of the most under-served neighborhoods in the City. This after-school arts program is modeled after the CA VAPA standards to develop academic, social-emotional and pre-vocational skills where inclusion is a standard practice.
