ACHF Arts Education
The outcomes for Youth Empowerment Studios are to: (1) Expand the access to art for youths of color, (2) Leverage the talents of community artists for social betterment, and (3) Develop artistic interest for at-risk youths. We plan to recruit, train and mentor 15+ at-risk, low-income students of color from 6th – 8th grades, who will create youth-led media artworks to use for community engagement and media literacy. The DIAL will collect participant feedback through pre- and post-program surveys and interviews. We will evaluate Youth Empowerment Studios Artistically – Media art products are effective and well received by the general public, with successful media arts training of 15+ youth; Financially – In Focus activities are completed within budget and time-frame; and Experientially – At least 3 artists of color work together as a team and increase their capacity to sharing media arts skills with a new generation of artists of color.
The DIAL's Youth Empowerment Studios program was able to train 26 low-income Olson Middle School students of color in media arts, media literacy and leadership skills, through the guidance of caring media arts professionals from the community. From mid-tem evaluations, 98% of students enjoyed having access to an arts program, and 96% of participants felt they learned new and valuable skills.
