Art Migration 

As part of OP work to solve access to underrepresented communities who do not traditionally have access to arts and arts education we will launch Art Migration. This bus based studio program began from past projects that use temporarily placed shipping containers.  We identified the value in a similar setup, but mobile.  We will access neighborhoods which might not have the open space resources. By working with the local neighborhoods and city permitting offices we plan to move the bus to different neighborhoods throughout the year. The bus will remain in each neighborhood for several weeks offering free or low cost art classes where students will gain enough materials and knowledge to continue the art form.

We need your support to get this program activated! OP will be spending the first half of 2025, raising funds to acquire and retrofit a retired Metro bus into a mobile art studio.

We’re raising $35,000 to unlock an additional $80,000 grant from 4Culture—that means your support will fully fund the launch of Art Migration!
