ACHF Arts Access
Artists will work with officials, partners and residents on neighborhood improvement and policy initiatives. Maximize potential of JXTA campus in the West Broadway corridor. Track participation from the Northside community in programs and track relationships regionally and nationally. 2: Take social ventures to scale, employ more young artists, and connect them to college and careers. JXTALabs increase the number of youth employed year round. Expand Pathways to College and Careers (PACC): apprentices to continue to higher education and career pathways in art and design.
Artists from Juxtaposition worked on numerous neighborhood improvement and policy projects with officials, partners and residents in North Minneapolis. Events are documented and shared on social media. Participant input is captured in video/photography, arts-based data collection, and respondent surveys. Learning is shared with partners, policy makers, and back to residents and participants. 2: Juxtaposition Arts employed more youth and young adult artists this year and increased the number of pathway opportunities for our youth. Youth artists attended studio tours, participated in deep collaboration with professionals in the art and design industries, visited colleges, interned at commercial firms, and had extensive support in building their plans for college and careers.
