Arts Now: Process-Based Art in Afterschool

Asynchronous Available HERE

OregonASK and the Salem Arts Association have begun a state-wide arts initiative called Arts Now that will bring art to children, youth, and adults all across Oregon! 

Arts Now combines Process-Based Art, Social and Emotional Learning, and Youth-Lead learning to make programming fun and easy for facilitators, directors, and everyone involved.

By signing up for this training, you’ll be signing up for our third Arts Now Cohort. Joining an Arts Now Cohort will give you access to PRYSM Arts curriculum and strategies for implementing process based, exciting, and meaningful afterschool artistic experiences that will change the way we look at informal learning!

CoLab: Collaborative Service through Art

As part of a National Youth Leadership Council Service Learning grant, OregonASK will be utilizing our Process-based Arts in Afterschool curriculum (Prysm) for programs interested in utilizing art as a tool to support service learning in your community. Read more about our Collaborative Service through the Arts (CoLab) HERE

CoLab gives youth the power to work collaboratively and creatively while developing their unique voices in afterschool. Use Collaborative Service through the Arts curriculum to guide youth in your program to brainstorm a community need, collaborate with an Oregon arts organization to design an arts-based response, make a plan, complete the service, reflect and exhibit the project. This project will provide art exploration, as well as culturally responsive, and youth-centered engagement strategies.

We will also be offering a cohort at our spring conference May 19th & 20th, in Lincoln County. Contact rachel.kessler@oregonask.org if interested in joining this summer.
