ABOUT YOUTHCAN

Free Program
YouthCAN is the Wing Luke Museum’s free, afterschool arts program for high school students designed to provide exposure to arts professions, increase knowledge and familiarity with the Chinatown-International District, and to connect with the museum, its mission, and its programs.
Students work with teaching artists to explore identity and culture through art and produce creative work that culminates into a group exhibit displayed in the Frank Fujii Youth Gallery at Wing Luke Museum.
YouthCAN Summer 2024 registration will open this spring. Registration is first come first served with a capacity of 15 students.
The program is free to participate in and open to anyone aged 13-19.
All levels of artistic experience are welcome.
All materials are provided by the museum.
YouthCAN students receive a museum membership.

“Teaching at YouthCAN was an absolute delight. The students were not just enthusiastic, but also very motivated, approaching each lesson with a genuine eagerness to learn and create. The supportive staff fostered an environment of freedom and exploration, empowering the students to express themselves through art in their own unique ways. It was a wonderful experience witnessing the growth and creativity of each individual, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of their artistic journey at YouthCAN.”
