Such familiarity helps the students to see the University as part of their future, too. The scholars also have much to gain from participating in ArtsBridge. And with special guidance from both the classroom teachers and professor mentors such as Katherine Bergeron in Music, Carol Murota in Dramatic Art, and Kevin Radley in Art Practice, scholars learn how to teach from some of the best in the field. For many scholars, ArtsBridge is the first step towards a career in education. Let us all hope that the success of the ArtsBridge program will help California's citizenry to view artistic training an essential component of our public educational system.
All programs are free and wheelchair accessible.
If you are a Berkeley graduate student in the arts or an undergraduate with an art major or minor and are interested in becoming a scholar, or if you are a local school teacher interested in collaborating with an ArtsBridge scholar, see the ArtsBridge at UC Berkeley website .
