Showcase of Student Work: Artists-in-Schools Exhibition

Kala Art Institute proudly presents its inaugural Artists-in-Schools program exhibition
in conjunction with the Kala Gallery exhibition re:con-figure and On View: New Work from Kala

This exhibition features work from K-12 students who participated in Kala’s educational outreach programs in Berkeley, Emeryville and Oakland.

2008-09 AIS school sites: Anna Yates Elementary, Berkeley High School’s Arts and Humanities Academy, Chipman Middle School, Emery Recreation Center Adventure Works Summer Program, Emery Secondary School, Jefferson Elementary, King Middle School, Longfellow Middle School, Peralta Elementary, Rosa Parks Kids Village After School Program, Thornhill Elementary and Willard Phoenix Rising After School Program.

Kala Art Institute provides emerging and established artists with opportunities to develop experimental artwork by offering a “creative oasis” where artists from around the world work and exchange ideas in our West Berkeley studios. These talented artists form the creative corps of Kala’s Artists-In-Schools (AIS) program serving more than 2,500 students a year throughout the Bay Area.
