Artists and Youth Speak Up!

“The Initiative really provided a space for me to feel good about wanting to be creative.  I think that was tremendous in terms of my growth and development as a person in general but definitely as an artist.”   
Jeff Cylkowski, Visual Artist in Residence, Summer 2009
Program Participant since 2000

“I love art.  I get to do it here and learn more about it—get immersed inside of art.”
Manny, Youth Arts Workshop Participant

“Asian Arts Initiative is different from other organizations in that they really nurture, foster young artists or emerging artists and help them really develop their skills…Asian Arts Initiative has this continuous relationship with artists through their lives.”
Ju-Yeon Ryu, Choreographer and Performance Artist

“During this past summer, I’ve been here almost all day every day.  I love this place.” 
Tremayne, Youth Arts Workshop Participant
