Zeum – contact: Lynn Wallace, www.zeum.org (415) 777-2800 or Lisa Dunmeyer LisaD@zeum.org We currently have two artists working in our exhibit Toyz.
Spike & Jeff invented the sail car and run the sail car making workshops
while we are open to the public. The room is also supported by our Zeum
Masters, teen interns that facilitate visitor experience. Spike and Jeff will
work for the full length of the exhibition (currently set to run through
August) and are also active in other areas: marketing, future exhibits, and
fundraising. We also have artist collaborations that will take place over the
next two months. Barney Jones will be working with teens to create a permanent
sound installation while Janet Ashford will be working with teens to create a
new digital workshop. The digital workshop will be replacing our current computer
lab with project based arts and crafts that you can create using photoshop and
various types of print media. We also collaborate with ACT in our Theater and
they will be offering a variety of workshops throughout the summer.
We work with various
artists to create our exhibits and the details of each are specific to the
project. Our biggest challenge right now is staffing. This affects our ability
to raise funds for such programs as well as manage the programs even when the
funds are available. We have many programs set up to serve the community in a
variety of ways. The only program that exclusively works with youth is our Zeum
Master program. It is a paid internship program where teens staff the exhibits
and get hands on experience with the various technologies found here. Our only
limitation is how much time we have to find resources and management time to
dedicate to these programs so that they a) keep running and b) expand to
include more of the community. Despite this challenge, the programs that we do
offer have been very successful. Lately we have had great success with our
volunteers. I believe that a strong volunteer base and a good communication
network within like institutions is incredibly helpful. Sharing audiences,
collaborating on programs, and finding new ways to partner are crucial. A
program that helps to foster volunteer action and partnership between
organizations really supports every institution to be the best that it can be
and to offer its services to the broadest possible audience - without weakening
quality of experience. Give me a call if you would like to come into Zeum for a
tour. It would be great to learn more about what your organization is working
on and share with you a bit of Zeum. Email or cell phone is fine. Lisa Dunmeyer

Creative
Arts Charter School – K-8 Leslie Kier >From: GOODms@aol.com, a public school in San Francisco serving
kindergarten through eighth grade students. Our undertaking is to provide high
quality, innovative, alternative public education to the diverse children of
San Francisco. The Educational
philosophy of Creative Arts embraces learning as an experience in which
children actively participate in the process of inquiry and creatively were
learning takes place in creative context.
Having said this, we are moving to a model next year where we have an
Arts Coordinator (full-time) along with, an artist in residence for dance, and
a visual artists. The Arts Coordinator
is paid from the same salary schedule as the classroom teachers. The artist in residence is from a grant with
the California Art Council, and the visual artist is paid and hourly wage that
is based on the SUFFUSED salary schedule.
This year we also have several arts programs running including Sound Art
(23five) and a school wide art project on diversity. What limitations do you
face in addressing needs in the community, especially with regard to youth? As
a school we suffer from a constant struggle to fund arts programs. What are the
obstacles that existing arts outreach programs face? Time, staff.

or fellowships/stipends to accompany them. Recently, however, a potential
intern contacted us about working together, and I learned how productive a
relationship this might be. We have a primary connection to a
neighborhood school, where we could be doing many different art projects which
an intern could spearhead. Similarly, an intern could focus on our
college students who are interested in doing art in the community but need a
mentor for their projects. So we could well be interested in connecting
with someone who had concrete ideas or who would like to develop them
together. I
would welcome a chance to collaborate on funding such an opportunity, as well.

Caroline Rabinowitz, executive director SF Rec. and Park Dept. Elizabeth Goldstein, Gen. Manager caroline@sharonartstudio.org. We are an community center for
recreational artists. We offer classes
for youth and adults in ceramics, leaded glass, jewelry, drawing and painting,
Our main issue is that the demand for class spaces is greater than the supply. Our program is totally maxed by offering
about 60 classes per session. We are in
a historic building so expansion of our site is not an option. Plus we are run primarily through the San
Francisco Recreation and Park Dept., a city agency that does not have any funds
to create an additional program. We
have to turn away hundreds of potential students. We cannot really do much
outreach because the staff (city employees) are fully booked by teaching
classes on site and they are not allowed to work over their patterned
hours. Therefore, they cannot take on
outreach projects in addition to their teaching obligations at our
studio.

Ruth Barajas of CHALK [barajas@chalk.org] 1.) We
offer employment to youth as well as computer training. We don't have specific
programming set up for JUST youth artists. ALL employees get paid by the hour, have computer access and the support of
staff. Computer Training participants recieve stipends for their training
completion. 2.) We balance servicing their needs as well as being structured
adult supervisors, which can often be hard to manage. 3.) Our youth do organize
and put on talent shows and parties for youth. We are currently not facing any
problems, although, I will say that it is always a learning process. Do you see
a potential interest or need in having art and technology type programs? For
example, conducting art workshops in Photoshop or other multimedia technology?
That would be cool. I've never thought about it. Another person runs that
program. But that sounds great. What are your current programs for teachers and

Our "Work Place Tech" program teacher is the director of the program
and she is a full time staff person who is on salary.
