Organization Description
| Service(s) description | The Junior Center offers a variety of hands-on art and science programs and experiences including on-site classes and workshops, school field trips, exhibitions, off-site community programs, studio rentals, and more. All of our programs are led by practicing professionals and offer an opportunity for learners to gain skills in creative problem solving, artistic techniques, and science concepts. |
| Program impact | Students in our program gain foundational skills in an arts-integrated program that supports cross-disciplinary learning and creative exploration. Through these programs students gain a sense of themselves as innovators, makers, and artists and are encouraged to explore their own voices, work collaboratively, and connect to their community. Many of our students develop a lifelong love of art and continue to expand upon their art-integrated learning in high school and college as well as return to the center as volunteers, campers, and visiting artists. |
