Artists Building Communities

Beyond SAY Sí’s on-site year-round, long-term youth programs, we extend our reach through community-based programming. Working with our network of alumni and contracted teaching artists, SAY Sí aims to reach different populations with creative development work, arts and cultural experiences and training opportunities.

SAY Sí’s Artists Building Communities [ABC] means to broaden the idea of what art is, what art can be and how we engage with art in our everyday lives. By creating accessible positive arts and cultural experiences for all populations of students, their families, and the adults who serve them SAY Sí builds a broader and stronger community for the arts.

There are several ways SAY Sí works with community partners, professional, youth groups and the public:

  • Creative Youth Development Programs & Partnership – Arts education via workshops and youth-focused events
  • SAY Sí Field Trips – Tours & Workshops – Free and fee-based experiences available for groups of all ages
  • pARTicipate – Tuition Based Camps & Events – Summer camps for elementary and middle school ages; fun adult art events
  • Company & Org. Team Building/Retreats/Staff Activities – Let us help you get creative with your staff experiences
  • Professional Development – Teacher, Youth Practitioners – Training in CYD, Youth Voice, Social Justice, Medium-based etc.
