School Partnership Programs
We partner with schools to deliver in-class artist residencies, after-school programs, and youth-centered mural projects. Through these partnerships, students engage in hands-on, process-based artmaking that builds confidence, connection, and creative expression. We also work with artists and community partners to produce exhibitions, events, and public art that reflects the culture and voices of the communities we serve.
