Youth art programs··. 
draw on AS220 grant 
• The $260,000 grant will 
be used to expand more than 
a dozen state art programs 
and bring 20 VISTA 
participants to work on art 
projects for youth. 
By MARION DAVIS 
Journal Staff Writer . 
PROVIDENCE- For some, it's 
about developing young people's 
talents, allowing them to grow as 
artists, writers, performers. For 
others, it 's just a good way to keep 
kids out of trouble and get them 
involved in something productive. 
What matters, says Umberto 
Crerica, artistic director of AS220, 
is that the art programs offered by 
groups throughout Rhode Island 
Art 
Continued from Page C 1 
throughout the state, including 
AS220. With this grant, however, not 
only will the number of voluntee·rs 
increase, but for the first time, those 
working on youth art programs will 
be linked together through AS220. 
Lauren Brooke, who is coordinat-
ing the effort, sa id the goal is to 
develop "a good core of people" who 
can share ideas . and resources, get 
trained together, and work jointly to 
promote the arts. 
PROVIDENCE 
help to bring people together and I 
build communities. . · 
Now, thanks to a $260,000 . 
grant from the federal Corpora-
. tion for National Service, at least 
a dozen of those agencies will be 
able to expand their art offerings. · 
The grant, which was awarded 
to AS220, will bring 20 partici-
pants in the VISTA (Volunteers in 
Service to America) program to 
. work on art programs for youth, 
Crenca said at a news conference 
at the downtown art center. 
Many other VISTA members 
are already servins; at nonprofits 
Tum to ART, Page C 4 
showcase music; spoken word, 
dance and other performances by 
artists under 21 and monthly gallery 
shows. The Muse Union also pub- · 
lishes a 24-page magazine of art and 
. creative writing. 
In addition, AS220 works with 
inmates at the state Training School, 
and in January, it will begin offering 
an intensive arts-immersion pro-
gram at the new Broad Street Com-
munity Studio for youngsters being 
released from the Training School. 
Brooke said at least a dozen com-
munity agencies -win be served by 
the new volunteers. A few other 
VISTA members are already work- · 
ing at AS220, which has been 
involved with the Corporation for 
National Service since 1997. 
The other agencies that are get-
ting VISTA volunteers through the 
new initiative include the Mount 
Hope Community Center, which 
offers a varietY of art classes, and 
Arts In The Square, in Olneyville, 
which has arts-based after-school 
and summer programs. 
One volunteer will help the West 
Warwick police with their J .E.M.S. 
(Juveniles Evolving Through Mean-
ingful Service) program, which gets 
first-time youthful offenders involved 
AS220 reaches out to young peo-
p1e through its Muse Union, which 
has monthly open-stage nights to 
., 
in community service. Another I 
VISTA member will serve as a men- , 
tor to students at the Met School, in · 
Providence. Yet another will help 
Trinity Encore Inc. , which is restor-
ing the Trinity Square Theater to 
serve as a community arts center. 
Other participating agencies 
· include Youth In Action, the Capitol · 
Region RSVP, Project New Urban 
Arts, the West Broadway Neighbor-
hood Association, and the Rhode 
Island School of Design Museum. \ 
"For some kids, exploring art is 1 
an end in itself. For others, these 
agencies' use of art will act as the ; 
youths' gateway into the other ser-
vices that these agencies provide,'' 
Crenca said. 
Either way, he added, the-arts are 
"indispensable," because "art acts · 
as the common ground where we 
can meet, helping to erode the barri- .· 
ers of age, class and race that keep · 
youth from using the services these 
agencies provide."
