| Angela Starks, Age 12 What I like about The Imagine Bus Project is that it keeps you busy… instead of running around driving your parents crazy you get to draw and paint and color. You can even do homework if you have to. I like it when other people look at my art. It's fun. |

MISSION STATEMENT
The Imagine Bus Project reaches out to youth in underserved communities and provides them with sustained, positive and creative outlets for personal expression. Using visual arts techniques and working closely within communities, our professional artist and educators bring thoughtful ideas to youth and empower them to explore their potential, develop critical thinking skills and build their self-esteem.
PROGRAMS
The Imagine Bus Project partners with under-resourced programs serving low-income children and youth in San Francisco, Sonoma and Marin counties to offer year round, high quality art classes which are culturally sensitive and informative, engaging and expansive. At each site a lead artist and assistant conduct one-hour classes each week.
