- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Children in low income and BIPOC communinites lack access to resources for personal artistic and creative development. They either can't afford to pay for services, such as music lessons, museum visits, drawing/painting classes, or theater programs and shows. Parents also lack the time to support their chlidren's artistic endeavors, or even help them cultivate an interest or passion in the arts. There may be a stigma held agaist the arts due a ta perception that they are being gatekept by the wealthy and white people. THese same challenges also exist in immigrant communities
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Afterschool programs to help foster an appreciation for and interest in the arts. This would include painting classes, drama classes, museum and theater visits, and music lessons, targeted toward students from BIPOC, low income, and immigrant families
