Visual & Performing Arts

Art empowers children to express themselves, fosters critical thinking, and supports their social-emotional health while broadening their exposure to the rich diversity of artists in the Bay Area.

AEF's Art Across the Island is a partnership between Alameda public school teachers, school art docents, Alameda Free Library, Rhythmix Cultural Works, and local businesses across the island to showcase visual and literary arts.

AEF’s  Art Changes program was developed in collaboration with Rhythmix Cultural Works. It offers video demonstrations by featured artists along with a student project based on each artist’s work. The visual artists have generously permitted AEF to showcase their work so that Alameda school children can learn and be inspired by these diverse artists whose work celebrates the local cultures and communities that make living in the Bay Area so unique. We encourage AUSD teachers to take advantage of this free program to bring art into the classroom.

East Bay Community FoundationArt Across the Island and Art Changes are made possible by a generous grant from the Schuler-Heimburger Family Fund of the East Bay Community Foundation.
