Imagine Art AmeriCorps Program
 
 
 
Since September 2019, Imagine Art AmeriCorps Members have served, in full and half-time capacities, as Artists-in-Residence to instruct art classes and mentor our artists with disabilities in our community towards professional engagement in the arts. Imagine Art is creating a Live + Make facility; a 66 unit low-income housing facility anchored by 8500 square feet of art studios, a gallery and community kitchen. We will be expanding the Imagine Art AmeriCorps Program to serve our clients in the areas of Food Industry practices, Peer Support and Long-Term Care. The 2024-25 Program Year offers multiple Member positions: 1. Artist In Residence: The AmeriCorps Members in our Art Program are identified as Artist-in-Residence and will provide direct educational and support services to artists with disabilities. AmeriCorps Members will provide art instruction and mentorship to support adult artists with disabilities. 2. Culinary Services: Members in the Culinary program will provide instruction and mentorship in customer service, food service operations, menu development, cooking skills, food safety and gardening. 3. Peer Support Services: Members in the Peer Support area will facilitate the training and certification program for peer support and help peers to coordinate after hours and social events for the Live+Make community. 4. Long-Term Care Services: Members in the Long Term Care area will provide job readiness activities to prepare and train participants with disabilities to perform activities related to in-home attendant care and companion care.
