Tapping into the power of families and neighborhoods to enliven the creative spirit and revitalize communities, the 100 Families Oakland: Art and Social Change project is undergoing a new phase of development.
From its inception in 2005 through June 2008, CCAs Center for Art and Public Life provided administrative responsibility and led implementation in collaboration with the leadership council and community partners in East Oakland, Chinatown, Fruitvale, and West Oakland.

Support a week-long printmaking master class that celebrates 15 years of Young Artists at Work and produces limited edition silkscreens for our backers!
The Story
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco developed a youth arts program fifteen years ago to give arts education opportunities to talented teen artists from underserved and disadvantaged communities. The program, called Young Artists at Work (YAAW), offers youth a hands-on experience in curating, art-making and media activism. The basic idea is simple: identify public schools where the arts programs have suffered the most, find students/budding artists at these schools who would benefit from the program, provide support and skills training to encourage the inner artist to flourish, and connect them to their immediate artistic community with a summer internship. Since the programs inception, over 300 young artists have participated in this program and they, in turn, have expanded the impact of the program to provided peer education to over 7,500 youth.
The Project
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the youth arts program, we would like to create a limited edition silkscreen print as part of a week-long master printmaking class for current and past YAAW students who have shown promise in the medium. These 15 students will use the state-of-the-art facilities at Kala Art Institute (www.kala.org) to further their design and printing skills. Each student will produce one 15×18 self-designed silkscreen as part of the class in addition to a limited edition 15×18 anniversary silkscreen in collaboration with artist and teacher, Josefina Jacquin (http://josefinajacquin.com/). Our goal is to raise $7,000 to pay for the artist and studio time, as well as the materials used in the printmaking process, transportation costs and shipping fees.

The PAINT (Producing Art In Neighborhoods Together) program is run and operated by Louisville-based 501(c)3 “Center For Neighborhoods”. This project “Weaving Unity Into Community” focused on working with youth and residents living at the Parkway Place public housing community in Louisville’s Parkhill neighborhood. The artist partner on this project was fiber artist and art therapist Pat Sturtzel. This project was made possible thanks to collaborative institutional and organizational partnerships involving: Center For Neighborhoods (project organizer, facilitator, staffing), Louisville Metro Housing Authority (organizer, facilitator, staffing, space), and the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft (facilitation and staff), and Jefferson County Public Schools (allowed use of their fence). Funding for this program was provided through grants from the Kentucky Arts Council’s “Arts Build Communities” program and the Cralle Foundation. Additional support was provided by The Green Building, Kertis Creative, Sud-Chemie, and Metro United Way. This project would not have been possible without the support for numerous dedicated community volunteers. Thank you!

My dream is to build the Cultural Production Center in Jonglei, Southern Sudan. My goal is to show that art is something can lead people to peace. I hope to let the community understand that this alternative way of looking at reality is a legitimate way of viewing the world.
ARAC dreamed is:
•To Building art center in Southern Sudan, many of these refugees are now going back to Southern Sudan and they have no place to continue with their works. Building this art center will allow those artists to emphasizing their artistic and endeavors to support the mental health of these artists and the community.
•To providing encouragement and morale support by broadening contact and line of communication between artists in the Sudan and in the camps, and those resettled elsewhere.
•Venues and partnerships state-side for collaborative exhibits, to enable more refugees to share their experience through art, and provide a voice for the plight of refugees around the world. By transport works of art from African and to the U.S. for joint exhibitions, and organize exhibitions at which this and other artwork can be displayed.
My purpose for ARAC is to bear witness, heal, and renew. Artistic expressions provides both a means of processing past and present events, as well as build communal experience through storytelling, education of the community through a common language, and lastly physical and spiritual situation within the camps has traditionally posed obstacles to artists organizing. In order to keeps this program running. Im writing to ask you to help me rise $20000 – $30000 dollars or sponsor this wonderful organization so we can be able to building the art center in Southern Sudan.
