We are
proud to announce they have received
2 great
grants! The California Arts Council, (Arts License

Public Value (CPV), has provided grant funding to support
the current Youth Arts Programming. Our Youth Arts Programs consists
of: Spring, Fall & Winter "Art Saturday" classes,
(2- & 3-D); Spring and Summer week-long Art Camps
(ages 6 - 12 yrs); "Spring into Art" Annual Gallery
Exhibit, (youth ages up to 21 years); Free 2-D & 3-D workshops; After
school Teen Art Classes (ages 13 - 18);
Mentorships for teens and instructors.
The Carol Anika Mihalik Memorial Fund,
administered through the Community Foundation of
Santa Cruz County, has awarded the Art Center a grant to
upgrade existing digital classroom facilities as well as expand
current digital class offerings, sponsor an all
digital gallery exhibition (2008).
We wish to thank all our community members,
participants and donors for their generous support
through the years. Both of these grants rely on
matching funds from our community, so your continued support helps us
realize our goals to "Make Art a Part of Your Life!"
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thank you New Leaf Market for
supporting our youth program again this year with a handsome donation (over
$1K). Thanks for providing us the opportunity to present our
organization to the public during the Community Day, July 26th. Frank
Borovich wowed New Leaf customers with his awesome skill on the potter's
wheel. Julie Erreca provided lessons in Ikebana flower arranging
(beautiful flowers donated by Camp Joy!), and creative bookmaking. We
handed out a LOT of literature. THANK YOU again, New Leaf.
