2009 Cesar E. Chavez Mural
2009 Canvass Project
10 youth were selected to learn how to use spray paint and other mediums to create custom 40" X 60" canvasses over a 12 week period. In addition to learning how to paint on canvass, participants were required to complete 10 hours of community service, not miss more than 2 classes and organize and host the Annual Gallery Night event in November 2009. If they completed these requirements they earned a $200 stipend and sold their artwork at the Gallery Night event teaching young people that it literally pays to do something positive!!

Why the arts?
To learn more about how the arts play a critical role in youth development and success,

Hip Hop is more than music...
... it goes beyond dance and sounds, it is about culture, history and skills. It was born of the same societal ills we see youth facing today; lack of jobs and economic opportunities, violence in our neighborhoods and at home, broken families, gangs, under funded schools and lack of community resources.
Hip Hop is a tool and a culture in itself that allows for positive change in one’s life and promotes the true meaning of “community”. Few social movements have been as effective as uniting cultures as Hip Hop has been for over 30 years.
We explore the cultural and historical ties of the elements; DJ, BBoy, MC, Graffiti, Knowledge through interactive workshops, events, lectures, projects and classes.
