This career training apprenticeship program is beneficial for any teens interested in art. It provides the opportunity to create public art that is placed throughout Sonoma County. Professional artists guide apprentice artists though the process of meeting with clients, designing and creating the project, and installing the work. Past installations can be seen all over Sonoma County including Dierk’s Midtown Café, mosaics and sculpture at Juilliard Park and Prince Memorial Greenway, painted storm drains in Railroad Square, and mural and mosaic benches at the Rohnert Park Senior Center. Along with
new projects and multiple artistic disciplines students are taught repair and maintenance of existing public art projects.

We Need a NEW HOME
Our well-known, well-loved, 20 year old non-profit youth arts program needs to move from our current location. Our lease expires in October.
Artstart, the Sonoma County youth arts organization is looking for a new home to accommodate all our wonderful new projects. Including the repair of city public art, our ongoing, healing mosaic project at Childrens Memorial Grove and Art on the Streets for Cleaner Creeks, to name a few. Plus our ongoing summer arts program that engages and educates our youth.
Artstart projects raise environmental awareness, public art appreciation, pride and valuable youth mentoring in the arts.
If you have any information about a property or landowner who can lease at an AFFORDABLE RATE OR RENT-FREE SPACE for our amazing team of artists, students and interns, please contact Artstart. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated. Contact the Artstart office: 707.546.2345 or info@artstart.us
Thank you!
