The Arts

The Boys & Girls Club is committed to providing programs, experiences and initiatives that allow all youth to access imagination and creativity to express themselves and build connections with others in their community. The Arts programs, experiences, and initiatives fall under these four categories:

• Visual Arts
  • Visual art created and judged for its beauty and meaning. It may include painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, collage, mixed media, graphics and architecture.
• Digital Arts
  • Two-or three-dimensional visual media that uses computers and other technology as an essential part of the creative process. This may include graphic design, animation, photography, movie making, Claymation, game design, music composition and digital illustration.
• Performing Arts
  • Arts that involve public performance, including playing instruments, acting, singing, and dancing. This includes performance support roles, such as creating scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound manipulation.
• Applied Arts
  • Any art form that applies artistic design to functional objects. This includes industrial design, bookmaking, illustration, printmaking, jewelry making, wood working, ceramics, fashion design, culinary arts, creative writing, and commercial art.

We hope to incorporate a range of opportunities from these categories to encourage creativity, expression, and confidence in our youth members.
