Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
In Focus will recruit, train and mentor 20+ at-risk, students of color from 8th – 12th grades, especially Asians in media arts and community engagement skills; employ and compensate a minimum of four community artists to facilitate the project; create a minimum of four media products to use for community engagement and education; and collect feedback from at least 20 community members through media arts and technology. Our goals are to expand the access to art for communities of color and youth, leverage the talents of community artists for social betterment, and develop artistic interest and skills in at-risk youths of color. The DIAL Group will collect participant feedback/surveys to measure the impact and satisfaction of the program's participants, and artist surveys to measure the success related to the program's facilitators. Furthermore, we will audit the project income and expenses to ensure that In Focus activities are completed within projected budget and time frame.
Quantitatively, we trained and mentored 15 at-risk, students of color, employed 4 artists of color, and created 4 high-quality media/communications products for the community. Qualitatively, we learned through participant interviews and surveys that 100% of the youth learned to better express themselves through media arts, found it to be a useful tool in supporting the community, and much more.
