After School Arts Program

The aim of the After School Arts program is to provide exposure to the arts and mentoring for at-risk and underserved youth in the Greater Lafayette area.

The structure of this vision is centered in exploring the arts, including non-traditional forms. The arts provide another dimension to help reinforce academics, teach problem solving techniques and inspire creativity.

ASAP drop in center consists of two days per week wherein youth from the area are invited to “drop in” at the Wells Building during the hours of 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm for art instruction in various disciplines. This program is available at no cost to the student. Member Organizations and Member Artists of the Federation act as instructors for this program.

The program will began fall semester of 2009 with a well received "Clay Art Class" taught by La La Galleries Angela Vinson, an athletically charged "Hip Hop" Dance Class and a 2d Art Class taught by TAF Staff, Abby Props and Dave Raymer respectively.
