Youth Public Arts Project |

The Youth Public Arts Project is our longest running outreach program. This is a bi-weekly program, where at-risk youth come to the arts council to work with professional artists and social work interns to create various public art projects. The public art is then displayed throughout the community. The goal of the program is for youth to have a positive impact on their community, to express themselves through artwork, and to build teamwork, social, and interpersonal skills through the visual arts. The project is targeted towards youth from 8-18 years of age, who show an interest in the creative arts. All participants must be referred to the program by school counselors, teachers, school social workers, court counselors, private therapists, or other community professionals.
How can you help? We are always looking for businesses and individuals to sponsor lunches for the Saturday’s that we meet. Please contact paula@pittcountyarts.org if you are interested! |

Professional visual artists and dancers work with adult and pediatric cancer patients and survivors. By bringing artistic aspects into the lives of these patients, survivors, caregivers and family members, this program helps to provide a holistic approach for coping by engaging their mind, body, and health for overall well-being.
