Serial Classes

Develop Skills through sequential classes

Classes at Montbello High School in Socially Conscious Video Gaming

Arts Street’s three-pronged program continues to deliver arts and creative learning during out-of school time, linking the Arts to STEM (science, technology, engineering, math).

Arts Street serves, primarily, the low-income, at-risk population with creative experiences and without tuition fees. Ninety percent of the children we serve are from inner city Denver, who receive free or reduced rate lunches at school, or attend free summer programs. About 25% are African-American, 37% Latino/Hispanic, 3% Asian and 35% not self-identified. Many of them have had little or no arts training and are hungry for more arts participation. The Arts Street educational programs are interdisciplinary, integrating the arts into STEM to provide a richer and more effective learning experience.
