Our Programs
Teen programs
Youth ages 13-19 take part in our Teens Programs. We offer a Teen Media Program, activities like the Do It Your Damn Self!! Film Festival, and a Teen Public Art Program. Teens collaborate with local artists and celebrate lives, stories, and community.
School Age Child Care
Youth ages 5-12 participate in the School Age Child Care Program where they become creative problem solvers through a hands-on curriculum.
Community Programs
Our community programs provide an opportunity for our youth artists to share their passion with the larger community. We do this through public art, family engagement initiatives, and special events.
