Program accomplishments
- PROGRAMS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: YOUNG AUDIENCES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BRINGS ARTS EDUCATION BACK INTO SCHOOLS AND OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE CHILDREN LIVE, LEARN AND PLAY. WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOLS TO CRAFT AN ARTS PROGRAM THAT FILLS THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT CHILDREN NEED AND WHAT SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE UNDER CURRENT BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. WORKING WITH MORE THAN 47 TEACHING ARTISTS, WE DEVELOP ARTS PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT ACADEMIC GOALS AS WELL AS SOCIAL AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR GOALS. ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS ALIGN WITH THE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS STANDARDS ISSUED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BUT THEY ALSO SUPPORT THE 21ST CENTURY SKILL GOALS OF THE COMMON CORE. OUR IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMS INCLUDE ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATIONS, CLASSROOM RESIDENCIES, GRADE-LEVEL WORKSHOPS, AND CLASSROOM TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IN AN ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATION, A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST PERFORMS FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE STUDENT BODY. TYPICALLY PRESENTING IN AN AUDITORIUM, MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM, OR CAFETERIA, PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATIONS AFFORD YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE LIVE, VIRTUOSIC ART FOR A PERIOD OF 45 MINUTES. IN A CLASSROOM RESIDENCY, A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST WORKS WITH ONE CLASSROOM ONCE A WEEK, FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES EACH WEEK, OVER AS MANY AS 20 WEEKS, TAKING THE CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ART-MAKING AND TRANSFORMING THE CLASSROOM INTO A STUDIO. IN A GRADE-LEVEL WORKSHOP, A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST WORKS WITH AN ENTIRE GRADE LEVEL FOR ONE 45-90 MINUTES SESSION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS OF ART-MAKING. OFTEN, A GRADE-LEVEL WORKSHOP IS PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATION. CLASSROOM TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INVOLVES A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST WORKING WITH A GROUP OF GENERALIST CLASSROOM TEACHERS TO ENHANCE THEIR SKILLS AT ARTS INTEGRATION. THESE SESSIONS TYPICALLY LAST 60 TO 120 MINUTES. IN ALL YOUNG AUDIENCES PROGRAMS, PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCE THE ART FORM, GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ART FORM, MAKE CREATIVE CHOICES WITHIN THE ART FORM, AND CONNECT THE ART FORM TO THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. ALL YOUNG AUDIENCES PROGRAMS ARE ARTS-FOCUSED, STUDENT-CENTERED, OUTCOMES-DRIVEN, AND MEASURABLY EFFECTIVE. This year, YANC delivered arts education programs to 34,555 students throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, compared to our student reach last year of 21,888. We served all major Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. Additionally, YANC worked with 87 partner schools and community centers representing 67 Districts and provided 1,182 in-person residency/workshop sessions, and 247 assembly performances. AFTERSCHOOL, SUMMER, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WORKSHOPS: YANC has successfully maintained an average residency length of 12 sessions in spite of the difficulty of scheduling busy artists into an already packed school day. This is thanks in part to our fourth year partnering with the South San Francisco Unified School District (SSFUSD) to deliver 'Summer STEAM', an arts-integration summer school that this year welcomed approximately 300 students across 14 classrooms (Grades 4-8). The program, guided by the essential question "How does energy impact my life?", was enriched by the contributions of 14 YANC teaching artists and 14 ENGIE teachers. Emphasizing the four core YANC elements --Connect, Experience, Understand, Create -- and the Ubuntu philosophy, which highlights our interconnectedness, the program fostered a community grounded in mutual respect and shared learning. For five hours a day over the course of 20 days, through various art disciplines such as Hip Hop, Latin Percussion, Spoken Word, Graffiti Art, Stop-motion animation, and more, students built an experiential understanding of energy and how it applies to their world.Expenses $456,719 · revenue $343,260
- ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCES: ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCES INVITED STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE A PROFESSIONAL DANCE, THEATER OR MUSIC PROGRAM RIGHT IN THEIR SCHOOL. THESE PROGRAMS WERE PLANNED AS SINGLE, SCHOOL-WIDE PERFORMANCES, OR AS TWO BACK-TO-BACK PERFORMANCES DIVIDED BY GRADE-LEVEL.Expenses $156,928 · revenue $222,093
- RESIDENCY PROGRAM: OUR RESIDENCY PROGRAM TRANSFORMS THE CLASSROOM INTO A STUDIO BY BRINGING A TEACHING ARTIST INTO THE STUDENTS' ROUTINE FOR A PERIOD OF 6 TO 16 SESSIONS, OFFERING STUDENTS THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE AN ART FORM CLOSE-UP, HANDS-ON AND FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. RESIDENCIES ARE GEARED TOWARDS FORGING DEEP CONNECTIONS AND FOSTERING CREATIVITY. VERY OFTEN, THE TEACHING ARTIST LINKS THE CONTENT OF RESIDENCY TO SOMETHING THE CLASSROOM TEACHERS ARE WORKING ON IN THE CURRICULUM, OR, SOMETHING THE SCHOOL IS WORKING ON AT-LARGE (SUCH AS LINKING A VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM TO MATH OR SCIENCE TOPICS; OR USING A DRUMMING RESIDENCY TO FOSTER TEAM-BUILDING OR SCHOOL CITIZENSHIP). EVERY RESIDENCY BEGINS WITH A PLANNING MEETING BETWEEN CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND THE TEACHING ARTIST TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL, COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE. Our residency programs are back to pre-pandemic numbers, yielding enormous benefits on the health and well-being of both students and classroom teachers. In the 2023-24 fiscal year, YANC partnered with 87 individual schools, surpassing our 2022-23 total of 69. We look to sustain these partnerships by providing excellence in program quality and assuring our Arts Access for All subsidy funds are fully replenished and available for the most under-resourced schools.Expenses $126,851 · revenue $169,697
