About ArtsConnect

Created in 1989, Arts Council Silicon Valley’s ArtsConnect program provides professional arts instruction for at-risk teens through in-depth artist residencies. These residencies are conducted in partnership with the Alternative Schools Department of the Santa Clara County Office of Education, including Juvenile Hall. On average, the program affects more than 500 local teens each year, nearly 15,000 throughout its history. Since the program’s inception, it has become the largest provider of arts education for at-risk youth in the region.
