OCA Artist Factory

OCA Artist Factory hosts and administers a comprehensive schedule of quality workshops taught by professional artists. Most recently, we’ve partnered with local organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Weber-Davis, Youth Impact, YCC Family Crisis Center, and The Monarch.

Our teaching artists develop lesson plans that engage media across artistic disciplines including photography, videography, painting, drawing, printmaking, performance art, new genres, and more.

Research shows that students who participate in extracurricular arts programs volunteer more within their community, maintain higher grades across all subjects, and are more likely to attend college compared to peers who do not participate in extracurricular arts programs. By expanding our youths’ skills, knowledge, and confidence in an array of art forms and providing community platforms for them to showcase their talents, we believe that partnering with local organizations helps our youth achieve success at school, home, and beyond.
