Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Yeah, Art! will provide tuition-free after-school arts education programming to schools in Oakland, with an emphasis on low-income districts and communities of color. Our program, led by local professional artists of color, is designed to create artistic career pathways for disadvantaged youth. This year, we plan to emphasize the following disciplines: Art Appreciation, Songwriting (including Pop Songwriting and Protest Songwriting) , Music Production, and 3D Modeling.

Organization Summary

Arts Education for a New Generation™. Yeah, Art! seeks to empower Bay Area youth with premium arts education that emphasizes technology, creativity and equitable access.

The problem: With school budget cuts, arts programs are often the first thing to get dropped, leading the most vulnerable students to miss out on essential creative skills.

The solution: Yeah, Art! provides accessible, innovative arts programs to underserved communities, equipping students with skills in Music Production, Animation, 3D Modeling and more.

Yeah, Art! offers technology-driven arts education programs tailored for underserved schools, with a focus on students of color in low-income Bay Area districts. Services are delivered by professional, local artists of color who bring their expertise directly to classrooms, creating an engaging and culturally relevant learning environment. Yeah, Art! equips students with in-demand creative skills, fostering both artistic growth and future career opportunities in the arts.
