About Access Art:
The exhibit will benefit the art and photography programs of Access Art, Inc. Access Art Board members will serve as guest bartenders during the reception and 10% of all restaurant proceeds will be donated to Access Art.
Founded in 2000, Access Art is an after school arts and media center that empowers youth to use their artistic ability and their unique understanding of their environment as catalysts for social change in their communities. Access Art delivers youth-centered after school programming to address the artistic, emotional, and cognitive development of middle and high school participants. We achieve these goals by providing students with a safe space to create, positive adult role models, empowering activities, leadership development, and alternatives to violence and high risk behavior. Access Art enables participants to learn the expressive qualities of art, while investigating their own lives. They learn to translate their unique views and feelings about the world through the visual language of image making while learning valuable art related and vocational skills, gaining self-confidence and self worth, and realizing personal achievement.
Access Art and the Youthlight Project are made possible through the generous support of The Family League of Baltimore City, The Hampden Family Center, The Open Society Institute, The Baltimore Community Foundation, The Maryland State Arts Council, Target, The CSX Foundation, The Digges Memorial Fund, The Baltimore Creative Fund, The Family League of Baltimore City, Baltimore City Mayor Sheila Dixon, The Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, The William G. Baker Fund, The Commonweal Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, The National Endowment for the Humanities and The National Endowment for the Arts, and The American Friends Service Committee.
