With support from the California Arts Council, Art Bias will offer the 3rd year of a free, life-changing group and individual mentorship program consisting of hands-on art making, portfolio development, field trips, curatorial, and professional growth opportunities to guide underserved students at Sequoia High School into the advanced, college level International Baccalaureate (IB) art program. Based at Art Bias in our community space and co-designed with the Sequoia High School art teachers, each mentee receives at least 40 weekly meetings of 2 hours (80 hours annually) of instructional time including painting, weaving, felting, photography, Chinese brush painting, Japanese calligraphy, Mexican milagritos, linocut, portraiture, and more, directly from professional artists. In addition to creative work, youth receive one-on-one guidance and individual support for network building, college applications, interview prep, and introductions to paid work.
