The Art Enrichment Program is free to all participants and is designed to engage children and adults in fresh approaches to creating art while keeping sustainability at the forefront of the curriculum.
YOUTH ART EDUCATION
AGES 7-11
Classes are for children ages 7 to to 11 who are enrolled in the Detroit Public Schools. The classes will focus on creating art and learning new skills incorporating the tools for re-use, recycling and sustainability into each lesson. Classes will run 6 to 8 weeks per cycle throughout the year.
Adult classes will provide art and craft projects in 4-week sessions. Participants can learn new craft skills or hone existing ones. Tools for creating sustainably will be incorporated into each session.
Community workshops will provide information on topics relating to sustainability, recycling and reuse, giving participants a place to learn and further understand how to be a part of a more sustainable community.
"Through our Art Enrichment Program, we hope to expand the possibilities that children see for themselves. We want to help them ‘color their worlds.’ I believe that experiencing the arts enhances our view of the world and our place in it, and gives us agency to create rich and vibrant lives."
