Civil Art emphasizes accessibility and education in art, providing digestible and informative writings on public platforms and creating free educational materials for youth groups, the API community, and supporters.
Civil Art empowers artists, creatives, and scholars by generating written records of their cultural achievements. By capturing these stories with care and promoting them via digital and physical platforms, Civil Art enhances the accessibility, identification, and legibility of community histories and voices.
Civil Art provides a unique publication platform, archiving the thoughts of the API Creative Community.
Civil Art increases the API Creative Community’s outreach, impact, and access to professional opportunities by making their creative practices approachable to a wider demographic.
Civil Art combats the misappropriation and erasure of API histories, heritages, and cultures by documenting the diverse experiences of the API arts community.
API Youth
Civil Art aims to create safe, free, and accessible art educational programs tailored toward youth groups. We provide timely source materials and unique curricula by engaging important API stories in the creative community.
Art education (art-focused seminars, workshops, lectures, written and designed materials) is an essential yet rapidly disappearing subject of learning. Thoughtful art education provides paths for understanding cultural nuances embedded within art and promotes diverse methods of self-expression and critical thinking.
Civil Art uses research and written records produced through its publication platforms to develop educational curricula, materials, and resources.
Civil Art makes art education publicly accessible in a culture where funding for art education is steadily declining, especially in public education.
Civil Art programs in-person art education seminars and classes in collaboration with youth organizations such as Apex for Youth, Lower Eastside Girls Club, CIDA, etc.
Civil Art develops art education and digestible art materials that can be difficult to access or even prohibitive to young and low-income individuals.
Civil Art’s published materials provide younger artists and scholars with tools to learn from industry professionals and further their career development.
