With support from the California Arts Council, Sonoma Valley Museum of Art will offer a multi-faceted public art program for youth participants. The project will engage a lead artist and 15 high-school students in a ten-week residency program which will incorporate workshops, artist-led talks, performances, and other educational and community building opportunities, and will culminate in the production of a large street mural in the Boyes Hot Springs area of Sonoma Valley.
Located in downtown Sonoma, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art (SVMA), the only contemporary art museum in the region hosting nationally recognized exhibitions, provides a central gathering space for artists, collectors, community members, students, and art enthusiasts of all ages. Its exhibitions and educational programs engage the community in the art and ideas of our time, encouraging curiosity and innovation. Through accessible yet boundary pushing exhibits and a robust calendar of events, workshops, and other enrichment activities throughout the year, the SVMA has become a well known magnet for high quality arts exhibitions, engagement, and education in the Sonoma Valley region for community members and visitors alike.
