  • “I can say that the summer production workshop made me realize that there really is a world where I can make a living doing what I love.”

    — Miriam S.
    From BAM Program

  • “BHAC gave me a platform and the tools to tell my story through radio and video. Now I’m helping others do the same.”

    — Por Vida Media Participant

  • “From being a shy student to leading a community mural—this program changed how I see myself and my community.”

    — MWA Student Artist

  • "Originally from Samoa, I’m a muralist for BHAC, part of the MWA. We learn from each other and we teach muralism, art, and different aspects of painting."

    Kit - MWA 

  • "I’m a teaching artists for voice acting over the summer. I teach VO to use and be more confident with your voice and what they say. I’ve also had a radio show here for the past 4-5 years. I also help manage the D&D youth groups on Saturdays."
