Project Description
With the support from California Arts Council, STUDIO CHANNEL ISLANDS ART CENTER will develop a series of visual arts exhibitions which respond to the Linda Stein exhibition Have Art Will Travel. This exhibition invites students to transform themselves into superheros and to challenge social injustice, prejudice and intolerance within society. Students will work with graphic artists to create characters, performances and dramatic events which illustrate how young people can become heroes.
Organization Summary
Studio Channel Islands was formed within the footprint of California State University Channel Islands. The artists presented exhibitions and delivered education programs. The organization moved from the University to a downtown derelict school and set up studios and a Gallery; the education programs continued with a broad range of classes and regular camps. The link with the University was not lost; the University’s community lecture program continues to be delivered within the Gallery and Studio Channel Islands recognizes the achievement of students through an annual Award for Excellence.
Studio Channel Islands has continued to evolve new education programs involving both formal and informal education partners. Now based within a school district campus the organization is able to work closely with both elementary and high schools within the community.
