The Duluth Art Institute enriches daily life with dynamic, innovative visual arts programming that upholds excellence and promotes inclusive community participation.
The Birkenstein Arts Movement (BAM) Program is a robust after school program that teaches youth how to build community and apply the creative process to problem solving. We designed BAM for youth currently enrolled at Lincoln Park Middle School. Artists receive art instruction ranging from drawing, sketching, painting, ceramics, collage, and photography. Leadership training coincides with all instruction.
BAM artists meet once a week on Mondays from 5 PM to 7 PM and at a one-week summer camp. All programming is at the Duluth Art Institute Lincoln Park Building. The cost of classes and materials are included into the program. We provide meals and snacks on the nights of class and during the annual summer camp.
Our goal is for BAM artists to use the visual arts to discover the power of becoming contributors to their community and using the arts to create social change.
If you or someone you know is a fit for BAM, please email engagement@duluthartinstitute.org.
