A youth storytellers group, from theater, animation, radio plays, and photography to film, students in the TXO program learn a variety of art forms to help their stories.
YOLI Arts is a multidisciplinary art program, built as a collaborative project to enhance art within the educational system throughout the school districts within the Monterey County. Our mission is to offer art programming to students of all skill levels, while introducing the student to stories of culture and community.
Bringing artists together to share and explore their stories and ideas while learning new art forms with their peers and other artists.
Cepanoa will offer three days of Art programming every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5pm-7pm, at our Artists Ink Creative Studio in Oldtown Salinas. Tuesdays will focus on Music and Performing Arts, Wednesdays will be an open studio, and Thursdays will focus on Visual Arts. Every four to six weeks we will rotate our guest artists offering a new art form every new period.
Artists Alley @ Midtown is an artist-driven farmers market that transforms Midtown Lane in Oldtown Salinas into a local artists’ pop-up shop. Hosting over 20 artists from our community, we are cultivating a space for professional and emerging artists to present and sell their creative works while networking with other artists.
We also provide live music and an open stage where musicians, spoken word, dance, karaoke, etc. take place. In Addition, we provide a variety of youth activities, offering access to our studio space and all our materials for FREE. Artists Alley is a FREE community event taking place every First Friday of the month from 5pm to 9pm. Artists Alley is also FREE to all Artist and Artisan participants
The numbers are based on the three programs Artists Ink offers (Teatro Xochitl Ollin, Creative Leaders, and Nepanoa) and Artists Ink’s various theatrical productions.
The community offerings range from tabling at the local farmers market, readings at the Western Stage and Alisal High School, and the theatrical performances of La Posada Magica.
This includes the YOLI Arts in-school program, the collaborative projects with UC Berkley, California State University Monterey Bay, ย the National Steinbeck Center, and DigitalNEST
