Work of Art/Trabajo de Arte is a youth program at the Beach Flats Youth Center where low-income students will learn to create artworks for an exhibition, as well as curate, install, market, and raise funds for it. Students will learn about their cultural history, visit art exhibitions, meet local creative professionals, and visit the art departments at our local colleges and university. Your contribution will allow us to cover our every day expenses to support this program and stay in the black, and help us continue to build a reserve that will provide us a solid operational platform on which we can build the future. Will you join us? Please help us continue inspiring minds and igniting artists’ careers by making a generous gift today.
