Yeah, Art! Expands With After-School Program
We’re excited to announce that through your community donations and the Arts Enrichment Initiative, we’ve been able to expand with an after-school program for Oakland Unified School District students.
Expanding our program to after-school hours allows us to expand our impact. Yeah, Art! just wrapped our first year with OUSD. Our Teaching Artists (a.k.a. “Big Kids”) lead creative workshops on Vocal Performance, Songwriting, Music Production and Music Appreciation for the young artists at Roosevelt Middle School.
“In the real world, when you want to apply what you’ve learned in school, you need to know how to use technology. Programs like Yeah, Art! give students a real world application to music.”

“It’s been fantastic having Yeah, Art! in my class. As young working artists, they can connect with students I find harder to reach. They’ve infused my program with a lot of enthusiasm and joy.”
