We bring artists to underfunded schools to lead workshops.
But our workshops aren’t just taught with the old-school greats like Mozart, Van Gogh or Shakespeare. They’re taught with the new-school greats who look, sound and move more like our students. Like Kendrick Lamar, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Issa Rae.
By blending classic theory, new technology and the pop culture that kids are loving right now, Yeah, Art! inspires young creative minds to engage with art in more meaningful ways. See our class offerings.
