Briefly describe the structure of your program. Global Artways is an arts education after school program sponsored by Salt Lake City Corporation in partnership with educational, corporate, public and private entities. Global Artways provides a safe haven for latch key kids. A van picks children up at their schools and delivers them to a center where they have an art experience. Classes are taught by experienced and well qualified instructors, many of whom have masters degrees in their field of instruction.
Students can learn dance, music, film visual art, literature and theater.
Classes are offered in the public schools, but also in community centers located throughout the city. The flagship location is the Sorenson Multi-Cultural Center in the City s southwest quadrant. Classes are offered to all ages, with a special emphasis on our latch key, at-risk youth population. Presently, the kindergarten through 3 rd graders are taking violin lessons. The program has access to state of the art film editing equipment which leaves the youth with a skill that will stay with them for life.
