What’s Goin’ On Young Artists’ Workshop is a summer program that teaches young students (ages 6-13) artistic skills while infusing life’s lessons of peace, community, and self-expression.
Now in it’s 8th year, What’s Goin’ On offers daily drum, dance, singing, creative movement, and visual art with a group of diverse kids from throughout the East Bay. Each morning, kids take music, dance, and art classes in small groups and choose electives in the afternoon.
What makes What’s Goin’ On a unique summer program? All of the teachers are artists themselves and have at least 10 years of teaching experience.
