WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER?
The Wing Luke Asian Museum is accepting applications from youth who want to participate in the YouthCAN Summer Cultural Arts Experience!
The Experience is an opportunity to channel your creative energy into designing an arts and cultural exhibit and take action on an issue affecting the Asian Pacific American community. The Experience offers a fun and safe space to explore individual ideas and identity, exercise creative talents, and develop community leadership skills within a group setting. Participating youth will:
- Meet New Friends
- Design & Build an Exhibit
- Earn Service Learning Hours
- Contribute to our Community in Creative Ways
The Experience is organized into two sessions. In SESSION 1 youth will go out into the community and explore people and community issues, collect art and cultural artifacts, and write to tell real-life stories. In SESSION 2, youth will apply their artistic talents and build an exhibition. Fields trips, opportunities to create original art, and community service throughout the sessions will give participating youth new insights into how to be both an artist and a leader within our dynamic community!
