Pro Arts Youth Fellows Initiative

Several high schools throughout Oakland (2010)

Students from five different Oakland high schools each participated in a 10 week “Art Intensive,” weekly after-school mentoring sessions with an artist. Lessons included introduction to perspective, envisioning and observation, and the development of journals, visual art, peer circles and portfolio development. At the end of the program, each student received art supplies for a medium of choice and created a project for exhibition. OFFTA partially funded one of the Youth Fellows Lead Artists, as well as the production of a final exhibition.
