YOUTH STUDIO

Sierra Youth Center, 2011
Youth Studio is a year-round visual arts program that serves incarcerated youth. During weekly art classes, youth explore issues of race, immigration, violence, and cultural identity to express experiences and ideas, make connections to the world and to others, and learn the value of collaboration, civic pride, and compassion.
Supporting youth throughout the program are TIBP’s teaching artists who challenge incarcerated youth to develop art skills, collaborate across gang affiliations, and develop life skills such as creative thinking, self esteem, and focus.
