Youth & Families
EAC’s programming includes programs and projects. Projects often include many different activities but typically happen just one time. Often they include the commissioning of a particular artist, producing a particular event, or focused on solving a particular challenge. Programs are ongoing activities that happen every year and are based at particular places. All programs started as projects, addressing particular needs, interests, and/or opportunities. Most of our programs are co-designed with, by, and for under-served youth, adults, and/or families. All of our programs and projects are inspired and/or informed by one or more aspects of sustainability — environmental, economic, social, cultural, and/or personal.
Many of our programs are still on hold due to COVID.
