The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded Venice Arts: In Neighborhoods a $12,000 grant to expand its “ArtPartner” photography and digital arts programs.
The workshops are for low-income youth and include lessons in black-and-white photography, digital design and imaging, and integrating fine and digital arts. They will last for one year and culminate with an exhibition of youth work.
Youth from the Mar Vista Gardens, a low-income housing project, and the Neighborhood Youth Association’s Venice Learning Center will participate in the programs.
Venice Arts, located at 610 California Ave. in Venice, brings together artists with low-income young people to help nurture their creativity, imagination and talent. Core programs include digital arts, literary arts, performing arts and photography.
