Graffiti Art Programming accomplishes its goals/objectives through three (3) core programs designed
specifically to address those goals/objectives - the st.Art Program, the Urban Canvas Program and the Graffiti
Gallery. The st.Art Program provides a series of free, after school workshops in a variety of art forms (traditional
and contemporary) in a safe environment that supports the concept of creative freedom in all its forms and
promotes that creativity in as many ways as possible; fostering self esteem, enhanced work ethics and capacity
building. The Urban Canvas Program provides a year long life skills training program using art as a tool to deliver
those life skills; an arts' cooperative/social enterprise is attached to UCP. The Graffiti Gallery is a contemporary
exhibit space for any and all aspiring, emerging young artists.
