Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Yeah, Art! will fund general operating expenses to continue bringing free, tech-forward arts programming to underfunded schools. Founded and led by Black artists, we prioritize students of color by hiring Teaching Artists of Color to teach in their own communities.
Thanks to past CAC support, this year we’ve expanded from 2 to 8 school sites, launched partnerships with Oakland Symphony and BACR, and hired an Education Director. Our programs now run during and after school and cover disciplines like Music Production, Animation, and 3D Design.
This funding will support our staff, Teaching Artists, and continued growth—ensuring students in underserved communities have access to high-quality, culturally relevant arts education that builds confidence, skills, and paves lucrative creative career pathways for historically disadvantaged youth, ultimately creating a more equitable future.
