About the Siskiyou Arts Bus Project |
 The Siskiyou Arts Bus is a full-sized retired school bus which is (currently) being transformed into a colorful fully equipped art studio. The Arts Bus becomes a mobile art studio with a conducive work space with children in mind. Local art instructors, experienced in teaching art and science, facilitate working with children with respect of their uniqueness and creative nature.
The instructors which are artists themselves have the ability to patiently facilitate a creative learning environment. The Arts Bus then travels to designated sites at pre-scheduled times. The children come on board the bus for: painting, ceramics, sculpture and many other fine art experiences. An outside area under the shadow of The Arts Bus will provide a stage for theatre arts, music and movement mediums.
The Arts Bus Project will target children who have had very little exposure, or no exposure to the arts, and who are offered no art-related after-school programs. With helpful and skilled instructors, these disadvantaged youth can create, explore and find inspiration and will also benefit from the tutoring and mentoring relationships developed through the program.
