PROGRAMS

YOUTH PROGRAMS

Equity in access and experience are core values of all Coyote Central programs. The experience of diverse races, cultures, and economic backgrounds is an essential part of what kids learn at Coyote Central. Outreach through schools, social service agencies, and other community partners helps us reach a wide range of populations, and we provide programming at whatever price works for each family.

STUDIO COYOTE COURSES

Our bread and butter! These are 20/21-hour creative classes for 10-15 year olds. Youth work with emerging and professional Teaching Artists and learn skills in a variety of mediums, culminating in projects of each student’s very own design. Classes are offered all year long during weekends and school breaks on a pay-what-works-for-you basis. We also adapt these classes for engagement with schools, bringing you to Coyote Central OR Coyote Central to you.

Coyote offers weekend classes in the Winter, Spring, and Fall and over most public school breaks, following Seattle Public School’s calendar. Summer classes are offered June - August in weeklong options.

ALL STUDIO CLASSES ARE PAY-WHAT-WORKS-FOR-YOU!

YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD

After the age of 15, youth can join the Youth Advisory Board and stay connected to Coyote Central. YAB members meet regularly and advise on Coyote Central programming, policies and strategies, as well as implement projects of their own. Past projects have included Public Art posters, sculptures, and murals focused on inclusivity and justice. Membership is voluntary.

CRE8 IMMERSION PROGRAM

For 6th-8th grade students. CRE8 is a 3-year immersion program where students gather weekly to take a deep dive into a variety of mediums, design public art projects, and finally build their own individual showcases. Participants apply in 5th grade and commit to a full 3 years in the program.

PUBLIC ART

Coyote Central has a long history of creating public art throughout the Greater Seattle Area. Youth teams work together with Teaching Artists to design, create, and install these projects in public parks, spaces, and businesses.  Students are chosen from a running roster from within Studio Coyote, aged from 12 years and up.
