ARTISTIC QUALITY
The Arts Learning Grant funds The Art Bus program at the Mt. Airy Hi-Rise affordable housing complex in St. Paul over a 10 week period during the fall of 2016. The Art Bus offers high quality arts experiences to under-served youth by delivering an art studio, professional artist-mentors and supplies to students where they live.
The Art Bus was created to provide arts education to youth from low income families with limited or no access to arts programming. ART ASAP, Incorporated built The Art Bus to provide a high quality, hands-on learning experience with the goal of developing artist- mentor relationships with youth participants. We give under-served youth the opportunity to feel, heal, and create with the hope that young people exposed to poverty, violence, or addiction find an outlet in creative and constructive ways through the art-making process. ART ASAP encourages artistic growth and creative self-expression through exposure to talented teaching artists throughout the school year and summer sessions.
