A Chance to Catch Up

MARCH HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY PACKED WITH ART!

...virtual classes, the second session of the CCC, and Summer Camp prep. Not to mention, March was #YouthArtMonth and #Women'sHistoryMonth!

You can see Saibrien's work and that of the rest of 2021 Creative Career Cohort in the Session 1 gallery.

Youth in Focus participated in the annual #5WomenArtists on our Facebook and asked what you would Choose to Challenge moving forward. Every month is Youth Art Month for us, but we take this time to highlight some of the key reasons we celebrate:

  • Art is a necessity for the full development of better quality of life for all
  • Art education is included in the core curriculum and yet, access is still a concern for many students
  • Art education provides space for divergent and critical thinking
