OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS - THE SKYWAY IS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO OUR STUDIO PROGRAMS THAT BLURS THE LINES OF FORMAL ART EDUCATION AND FOCUSES ON ART MAKING AS AN INHERENTLY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. IT IS A PEDAGOGY BASED NOT ON LESSON PLANS OR SET PROJECTS, BUT ON MORE OPEN AND MORE DEEPLY ENGAGING CREATED PROCESSES. GUIDED BY A COLLABORATIVE COHORT OF RESIDENT TEACHING ARTISTS, PARTICIPANTS ARE IMMERSED IN A WORLD OF IMAGINATIVE POSSIBILITIES, INVITED TO EXPLORE A BROAD VARIETY OF CREATING FORMS AND ACTIVITIES.PROJECT 3RD SPACE IS A YEAR-LONG PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL-AGED YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ART AND SEE IT AS A PATHWAY INTO THEIR FUTURE. THE PROGRAM IS MEANT TO BE BOTH A CRUCIAL BRIDGE BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND MEANINGFUL POST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS AN ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT FOR SELF-DISCOVERY, COMMUNICATION, AND COLLABORATION.SKYART CREATED PROJECT IMPACT IN RESPONSE TO THE UNPRECEDENTED NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

IN-SCHOOL ARTS PROGRAMS - IN-SCHOOL FOCUSES ON INTEGRATING ART INTO THE CLASSROOM CURRICULUM. SKYWAY TEACHING ARTISTS WORK WITH CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO DEVELOP ART LESSONS THAT REINFORCE THE THEMES AND TOPICS BEING ADDRESSED IN OTHER SUBJECT AREAS IN THE CLASSROOM.

IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ART SKILLS, THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO IMPACT STUDENTS SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AS WELL AS INCREASE THEIR POTENTIAL ACADEMIC APTITUDE.
