ArtReach San Diego – Collaborative Visual Arts Programs for Youth

ArtReach programs are inspired by relevant, contemporary visual arts practices with a focus on creating spaces for expression by fostering community and connection in the classroom. Artmaking provides a conduit for igniting the creativity that already resides within each young person, helps students process and express feelings, fosters community with peers, and builds self-esteem in a supportive yet challenging environment.

ArtReach ignites youth creativity through visual arts expression and community connection.

RESIDENCY PROGRAMS

Visual arts education programs during normal school hours. Artmaking provides a conduit for igniting the creativity that already resides within, helps students process and express feelings, fosters community with peers, and builds self-esteem.

MURAL PROGRAMS

Collaborative youth-driven murals at schools and community sites. Murals provide an opportunity for youth to work alongside their peers with a professional Mural Artist while creating something transformative and lasting for their community.

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Community Programs focus on craft and process-based visual arts programming for youth outside of school settings, local community organizations, and visual arts workshops for kids, teens, families, and adults in the broader San Diego community.

SPARK PROGRAMS

SPARK brings art expertise into classrooms, partnering local artists with teachers to create custom projects that align with various subjects. Students engage in collaborative art projects that foster creativity, personal perspectives, and relationship-building skills.

LEARNING PORTAL

A dynamic resource that brings the ArtReach experience to you. Designed to go beyond geographical barriers and schedule limitations, it brings the joy of creating to students wherever they are, through skill-building worksheets, student resources, educator guides, and supply lists.
