Form 990, Part III, Line 4d
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Teaching Artist development is a key element of our programming. While all of our teaching artists are independent artists, they repeatedly express appreciation for opportunities that we provide for them to interact and support one anothers professional growth. We supported their efforts through monthly ArtsWikis, in which teaching artists engage in a shared learning community in actual space, as opposed to the internet. We also offered a two-day Teaching Artist Institute in which we provided a series of workshops and seminars on the latest developments in the field. In this way, we ensure that Bay Area students are receiving the highest quality arts programming. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: [Part III Line 4a continued]can be significantly more. Our in-school programs include Assembly Performance Demonstrations, Classroom Residencies, Grade-Level Workshops, and Classroom Teacher Professional Development. In an Assembly Performance Demonstration, a professional artist performs for a large portion of the student body. Typically presenting in an auditorium, multi-purpose room, or cafeteria, Performance Demonstrations afford young people the chance to experience live, virtuosic art for a period of 45 minutes. In a Classroom Residency, a professional artist works with one classroom once a week, for approximately 45 minutes each week, over as many as 20 weeks, taking the children in the classroom through the process of art-making and transforming the classroom into a studio. In a Grade-Level Workshop, a professional artist works with an entire grade level for one 45-90 minutes session to participate in the process of art-making. Often, a Grade-Level Workshop is provided in conjunction with a Performance Demonstration. Classroom Teacher Professional Development involves a professional artist working with a group of generalist classroom teachers to enhance their skills at arts integration. These sessions typically last 60 to 120 minutes. In all Young Audiences programs, participants experience the art form, gain understanding of the art form, make creative choices within the art form, and connect the art form to their personal experiences. All Young Audiences programs are arts-focused, student-centered, outcomes-driven, and measurably effective.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2
Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services
The first goal of our recently-completed Strategic Plan is to bring high-quality arts programming to children where they live, learn, and play. Working from this overarching goal, we have launched two new programs at Young Audiences: ArtsReach and Access for All. ArtsReach answers our Strategic Plan directive to bring high-quality arts programming to children where they live and play. Through ArtsReach programming, we engaged more than 3000 children and family members in public arts performances and residencies. Our artists performed in Union Square and in The Presidio. Access for All answers our Strategic Plan directive to provide quality arts programming to children where they learn. We were able to provide assembly performances and residencies to more than a dozen Title 1 schools through $20,000 in funding in the first year of this program.The second goal of our recently-completed Strategic Plan is to leverage our relationship with Teaching Artists for mutual benefit. Working from this overarching goal, we launched the Teaching Artist Collaborative in 2013. This program provides structured peer mentorship to Teaching Artists who work with Young Audiences, supporting their professional development by supporting them with chances to observe other Teaching Artists at work and to be observed, themselves. These observations are then supported with structured meetings between the Teaching Artists and our Director of Arts Learning. The goal of the Teaching Artist Collaborative is simultaneously to improve the quality of programming that Young Audiences Teaching Artists offer and to provide professional interaction opportunities for Teaching Artists. More than 20 Teaching Artists chose to be involved with this program during the first year.
