Uplifting and Centering Youth Perspective and Leadership: Lessons from Partners for Rural Impact and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Greetings from the Creative Opportunities team at WolfBrown ( Dennie Wolf , Abigale Franco , Kathleen Hill , Claire Purgus , Thomas Wolf , and Steven Holochwost ). Each quarter our communications addresses a critical theme. Every month or so, we will send you a piece to spark your thinking in relation to that theme and inform your practice.
This quarter our newsletter's?theme is?young adulthood?– those transition years between late high school and early adulthood, when young people make many of the critical decisions that shape how – and even whether – arts and culture will be part of their lives.?
We inaugurate our new process with a piece by WolfBrown's Senior Consultant for Creative Opportunities,?Kathleen Hill.?She examines?how participation in arts and culture activities is a vital opportunity?to develop and exercise fundamental self-advocacy skills. For this reason, when we distribute arts learning equitably, it's not just about getting everyone to the art table. It's about supporting all students' holistic development as healthy and happy individuals.
Every quarter, we will round up those posts?in our newsletter, Amplifying Creative Opportunities. Subscribe here.
