In today's society there are
many children and youth who roam
around aimlessly, feeling no sense
of self- worth or belonging. Some
~^urn-to^lnigs-and crime io^atisf)L_
their sense of aloneness while oth
ers withdraw. In many cases, these
children simply need constructive
outlets for self-expression or a car
ing hand to guide them through
life's struggles.
For more than 15 years, Urban
Arts of the Arts Council has suc
ceeded in filling these voids by
offering artistic programming for
the community's underserved poor
and mentally/physically-challenged
members. This programming helps
grow creative expression, and
wholeness for many children and
adults who never knew they had
interest or talent in the arts.
Two programs that have contin
ually offered children in Winston -
Salem and Forsyth County the
opportunity to experience thcTarts
and cultivate talent is Art-Is and
Ari-Is-Too. Art-Is provides training
in the performing and visual arts to
children ages 6 through 15. The
program is open to every child in
Winston-Salem and Forsyth County
regardless of race, creed, color or
national origin.
Professional artists lend their
time and talent to teach the children
in one of several disciplines includ
ing dance, piano, drama, and paint
ing. As part of Art-Is t|je Young
Black Writers Program? reaches
high-school-aged young adults with street life many children turn to
a seminar series that focuses on alter school. It offers training in the
teaching a new generation about lit- performing and visual arts to the
erature, so that these young people youth of Piedmont Circle, Kimberly
can learn the craft of writing. Park, Cleveland Avenue Homes,
