Audience Description These v irtual extra curricular arts classes are intended for ISLA's <br />nearly 200, largely low-income, Spanish-speaking Latinx students <br />and their families. Classes will be div ided up, based on age in order <br />to ensure that they are meeting the students at their dev elopmental <br />stage, but will be open and encourage the entire family to get <br />inv olv ed and learning something new and fun! Additionally, as the <br />class recordings will be freely av ailable v ia youtube we hope that they <br />will be a v aluable resource to Spanish speakers and Spanish <br />language learners, in the broader Chapel-Hill/Durham community and <br />beyond. <br />Location Description As ISLA has mov ed online this year the interactiv e webinar style <br />extra curricular classes that will be offered through this project will be <br />accessible through a digital platform for our students and their <br />families. Recordings of these classes will then be av ailable to the <br />general public v ia our youtube channel, so that the broader <br />community can hav e access to these high quality Spanish language <br />arts and cultural experiences! <br />Artist Description ISLA has two artists on staff who regularly teach art and music <br />classes for ISLA's heritage language students, as well as for ISLA's <br />social enterprise SEPA, which generates part of the income that <br />keeps ISLA's heritage language programming free for Spanish <br />speaking students and families. Pav elid Castaneda is a musician, as <br />well as educator with ov er 30 years of experience. He has been <br />inspiring ISLA students for years in his classroom and we are excited <br />to bring his lessons and talents to more of our ISLA students and the <br />broader community through this project. Bryan Ramirez is a v isual <br />artist and digital guru! He has played a fundamental role in bringing <br />the arts with us as we transitioned our serv ices online and he has a <br />way of capturing students' attention across the digital div ide while <br />teaching fundamental lessons about shapes, colores and shading <br />that are rolled together with cultural tidbits! ISLA is so proud to work <br />with these two phenomenal artists and educators and we appreciate <br />them taking the lead to help us select other artists in the areas of <br />dance (Latin traditional and contemporary dances) and theater who <br />like them are also inspiring educators. <br />Are you hiring <br />multicultural artists <br />with the requested <br />funds from this <br />grant? <br />Yes <br />For each multicultural <br />artist you intend to <br />hire, please list their <br />name, race, and how <br />much you plan to pay <br />them. <br />Pav elid Castaneda, Latino, $800 <br />Bryan Ramirez, Latino, $800 <br />Outside contracted artists combined, Latinx, $770 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: CBAB0CFC-0EC0-479E-9AFB-49B5E0339C83
