Description of Program |
Created in 1989, Arts Council Silicon Valley’s ArtsConnect program provides professional arts instruction for at-risk teens through in-depth artist residencies. These residencies are conducted in partnership with the Alternative Schools Department of the Santa Clara County Office of Education, including Juvenile Hall. Participants are teens, ages 13-18, who attend an alternative school. The Alternative Schools provide educational programs for students who are under court supervision or who are not attending regular school for a variety of reasons. The professional artists are screened, selected, and trained by the Arts Council; and placed in various school sites administered by the Santa Clara County Office of Education. Requests vary from site to site, but in general teaching artists work with students in structured 1 to 2-hour classes, once or twice a week, over a 4 to 6-week period for normal placements. For long-term placements, teaching artists are in residence for three months or longer. |
