Our vision for arts and culture for youth
is that all youth will experience ever-evolving,
diverse, integrated art forms along with a supporting,
participating community.
Participants: Erin Curell, Mary Gray, Inna, Jan Hartranft, James
Jones, Jack LeSage, Michael Melet, Erin Onweller,
Dick Ramsdell, Cheryl Rogers, Boris Turner, Ridgeway
White.
Three Major Goals
-
Provide arts programs for all children that
encourage creative expression and the development
of skills and talents.
Recognize arts and culture as an integral part of
our educational process.
Include venues for the interests of youth.
Include a community curriculum
for the arts – experiences
where youth would design, plan, find resources
and implement projects.
2. Develop a clearinghouse for existing
arts and cultural programs. It would address: children,
teachers, parents, and community.This might take
the form of a website, art newspaper, etc., but
will have a component for personal contact follow-up
and
be child-friendly to use.
- Create a Center for Youth Expression/Urban
Arts and Culture
- It will:
Address all the arts (visual art, performance, dance,
music, literary, emerging forms)
Provide comprehensive support to young artists
Enhance comfort level with “the
arts”
Utilize local artists to operate
The other goals that were mentioned:
- All talented young students will have the opportunity
to perform at local, regional, national and international
events.
- Ongoing efforts will provide funding and collaborative
partnerships for sustainable arts programs.
- Provide support to the arts in the schools.
- Break down the cultural gap between the community
and the Cultural Center. Enhance utilization and
comfort level.
- Teach and use art as a visual language.
