Organizations Filed Purposes:
To be a catalyst in Richmond for learning and living through art.
Studio Art - All on-site studio art classes ceased when the pandemic arrived. The Center had to cancel 140 classes, 30 workshops and had to return over $67,000 in class registration fees. For the first time in its history the Center implemented Online Classes beginning in June 2020, including our very first Spanish only, bilingual, and intergenerational classes. In the beginning, 45 classes were offered in total June-September, 29 Adult and 16 Youth. We launched free online meetups for the community to join in at-home creativity.
Art in the Community - Up to the arrival of the pandemic in March 2020, the Center was engaged in teaching in-person art classes at ten schools in the area: Richmond High School had two 120-minute visual mural arts programs as part of their experiential learning program, where students learned to plan, create, and affect art. Kennedy High School had two 120-minute programs in Fashion Design Arts. Seven elementary schools had weekly visual arts sessions (Bayview, DeJean, Highland, Mira Vista, Peres, Riverside, Verde). Students at Mandarin enjoyed an Art Residency Program where they explored various art mediums such as printmaking, books/paper arts, ceramics, mixed media, and animation.
Exhibitions - Due to closing, no exhibitions took place after arrival of the pandemic. Depending on the course of the pandemic, the Center may offer virtual exhibits online in the future. The Center did commission modest but significant works of art from local artists for our facility, in tune with the social movements currently in our society and to spread the messages of social justice, diversity and inclusion.
