Background on Art and Resistance Through Education (ARTE): Launched in June 2013 in New York City, ARTE is a nascent, innovative organization that uses art, design, and technology to amplify the voices of young people to develop creative solutions and bring awareness to local and global human rights challenges, fostering leadership opportunities to train others. For its efforts in the fields of human rights and arts innovation, ARTE has received both local and international publicity and recognition. In fall 2018, we will continue this work by empowering groups of high-school aged youth in a formal classroom or informal after-school setting in New York City. After voting upon and researching a human rights issue of their choosing, youth will have the opportunity to work with community muralists to produce a public mural focusing on human rights.

Overall, this internship is an excellent experience for anyone seeking to learn how the foundation of a non-profit organization is built through the guidance and direction of a seasoned non-profit professional. Interns will also have the opportunity to work directly with local human rights organizations, professional mural artists, and youth based community centers.

 

ARTE is committed to supporting the professional development of their interns whenever possible (e.g. invitations to conferences, skills-building workshops, etc.). This is an important opportunity for anyone looking for hands-on experience working with young people in the field of human rights education, arts education, and community organizing.

ARTISTYEAR Fellowship

What is ArtistYear?

CREATIVE EXPRESSION FOR VITAL MINDS. NATIONAL SERVICE FOR CITIZEN-ARTISTS.

ArtistYear believes that the arts—as vehicles for critical-thinking, empathy, self-discipline, and civic engagement—are imperative for a thriving democracy. Our vision is to develop engaged citizen-artists committed to strengthening the fabric of our nation. How? By providing arts education in Title I schools across America via a national service year.

ArtistYear is dedicated to enhancing school engagement, increasing civic behaviors and developing student artistry for vulnerable youth populations: economically disadvantaged students, English Language Learners, and students of color.

We are committed to developing Citizen-Artiststhrough three critical actions:

Enable a Citizen-Artist National Service Year: ArtistYear is the first National Service Year Organization in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to the arts. Recent higher education arts graduates are recruited, trained and supported to provide arts instruction full-time for Title I schools.

To ensure quality and relevance, these “ArtistYear Fellows” use an adaptable curriculum framework that aligns to the National Core Arts Standards and provides the flexibility necessary to genuinely engage each school community’s voice and vision.

Empower Active Youth Citizenship through Creative Artistry: Within our issue-based arts curriculum, students respond to, explore, create, and share socially, historically, and culturally responsive content through artistic expression. Classes then apply these 21st century and creative skills as “Citizen Artists”—individuals who contribute to society through art—via community arts events, shows and performances.

Encourage Citizen-Artists Nationally: By cultivating cross-sector partnerships, value-based leadership, and local-citizen perspectives, ArtistYear aims to build and support a network of Citizen-Artists to strengthen the fabric of communities across America.

OUR STORY:

Believing national service, the arts, and citizenship binds us to one another and gives us a stake in our communities and country, Margo Drakos and Elizabeth Warshawer founded ArtistYear in May 2014, the first Citizen-Artist service year program in our nation. Margo, an active duty U.S. Army spouse, former concert cellist, and tech entrepreneur, and Elizabeth, a senior executive in the arts and private sector, and parent of son’s dedicated to public service, were inspired at Aspen Institute’s Ideas Festival and GEN McChrystal’s call-to-action for every American to participate in full-time national service. They recognized the need to extend such an opportunity to the arts community, seeking to bring the power of the arts to underserved school children by providing exceptional artists with a dedicated service year beyond community service outreach.

ArtistYear's pilot launched in 2014 in Philadelphia with 3 Fellows in partnership with Curtis Institute of Music, the School District of Philadelphia, and community partners. In 2016, ArtistYear became a 501(c)3, and grew to 9 Fellows serving 1,000 students in Philadelphia, thanks to a generous gift from H. F. “Gerry” Lenfest.

In Summer 2017, ArtistYear was honored to be awarded $1.45 million in AmeriCorps funding over three years, the first-ever national organization dedicated to service through the arts to receive AmeriCorps recognition. In 2017-2018, 25 ArtistYear AmeriCorps members are serving as full-time teaching-artists during a year of national service. ArtistYear AmeriCorps members serve alongside established arts educators in federally-designated Title I schools, as ArtistYear expands beyond its home base of Philadelphia to school districts of Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado, and the Borough of Queens, in New York City.
