With support from the California Arts Council, the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation will implement Cultural Kaleidoscope, an art-based inquiry program that connects the arts to social studies and science curricula, in 20 classrooms annually: ten each from Palo Alto and Ravenswood Districts, serving a total of 1,000 students.
The Art Center believes that its mission is best achieved by connecting the experience of viewing art with direct involvement in making art. Core programs include exhibitions and exhibition-related community programming; arts education programs for school children, both in-school and at the Art Center; a Studio Art Program offering high-quality arts instruction, classes, and workshops in a variety of creative media for adults and teens; and the Children’s Fine Art Program, providing classes, summer camps, and other programs for preschool through middle school-aged youth.
