Lincoln Park Youth Arts Collective Spring 2024 Cohort & Art Show Opening

Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District's Youth Arts Collective (YAC) is an arts meets tech education program for youth aged 9-17 - Generation Alpha - that will provide them with knowledge and employable skills needed to be successful in the 21st Century. In 2024, we expanded the program into two levels: Level I for ages 9-12 years old and Level II for ages 13-17 years olds who have some arts education or OST arts education exposure. Our students learned Illustration, Painting, Digital Content & Animation, Introduction to Special Effects, Graphics Design in Canva, Intro to Digital Photography & Darkroom Developing, Intro to Creating a Coloring Book, Intro to Printing Merchandise, Intro to using laptops and iPads.
The Spring 2024 cohort was led by facilitators Kween Moore (ages 9-12 years old) and Lyle Omolayo (ages 13-17 years old). Field trips and guest instructors included Emefa Woananu (Pop Up Print Shop), Stafford Woods (Obscura Darkroom), Viviana Salgado (Studio Creative Group), LeRon Lee (Filmmaker), Have You Met Newark? Mural Tour powered by Audible, and Glassroots. Thank you NJ State Sen. M. Teresa Ruiz for visiting our students!
