Education & Training Programs …
Programs may require registration and/or referrals from other organizations. Please inquire for more information. ArtPLACE
The ArtPLACE curriculum is designed to supplement the school's existing California Visual and Performance Arts content standards by helping all students become adept in basic problem solving and critical reasoning skills. The goals of our ArtPLACE program are to: 1) supplement the school's general course of study with a basic arts curriculum that is fully integrated into the school day, 2) provide the children with a visual arts education via hands-on art instruction from a devoted, experienced educator in order to provide them with the tools to represent and react to their surroundings in a healthy manner, and 3) create a safe, nourishing, and creative environment where even struggling students can build their self-esteem when they take pride in their individual expression and ability to progress at art making.
Our ArtPLACE programming is made possible through 2010 grants generously provided from:
 
The California Arts Council
Oakland Fund for the ArtsThe San Francisco FoundationPlease consider donating to Prescott-Joseph's Art Program.

ArtPLACE is our school-day arts program for K-5 students at PLACE @ Prescott, one of Oakland’s most challenged schools. The program is open to all students and teachers at the school. Since 2006, our Teaching Artist, Judy Johnson-Williams— a professional visual artist and experienced youth educator from the West Oakland community—has provided this instruction to an average of 250-275 students each year. In 2010, ArtPLACE will serve the 215 students enrolled at PLACE @ Prescott. Without our program, these students would not have an arts education.
