ARTISTS IN ACTION

For grades 6th-12th

Students explore a relevant social issue, create original art about the issue, and share their work with a broader audience to inspire change. Artists In Action residencies are planned in collaboration with school leaders and youth.

Previous projects include original songs, and/or poems in Government, Human Geography, AVID, PALS, Health, and English Language Arts classes. (2-12 sessions, session length varies, in-person or online).
