Grant funded partnerships working with social service organizations offer Art and Healing classes for vulnerable and marginalized populations.

There are occasional opportunities to work on community public art with our Youth Arts Collaborative (YAC) public art program, which engages urban teens and our teaching artists to problem solve with organizations and communities through the creation of public art.
