Since 1993, Venice Arts’ has served to ignite, expand, and transform the lives of Los Angeles’ low-income youth through photography and film education, and to use its participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world. We do this by building creative equity for low-income youth through media arts education, college success, and creative career pathway programs where we put creativity at the center of youth development. Through sequential learning -- from beginning to advanced levels -- students develop art, digital, and media literacy, including developing an understanding of how the still or moving image shapes their perceptions of themselves and their world.
