A Message from AEF’s New Executive Director

Greetings!

I am thrilled to join the Alameda Education Foundation as the new Executive Director. With Vicki’s impending retirement, I know I have big shoes to fill, and I appreciate that she has offered a generous overlap period as I learn the numerous facets of AEF’s work. I look forward to meeting with many of our AEF community members, partners and supporters over the coming weeks as I step into this role.

Artists Featured for Black History Month

In celebration of Black History Month (February), AEF is highlighting seven African American visual artists and one poet who are participants in our Art Changes program. All eight artists made short videos where they explained (and sometimes demonstrated) their work. Each visual artist video is accompanied by an art activity video made by two film students of color. The poetry video is accompanied by an instructional PDF slideshow.

Here’s the list of artists with a description of their video.
