Since 2021 ArtEsteem has completed four of five large scale murals, aproximately 12,000 sq. ft. each, in the I-580 freeway underpasses between San Pablo Avenuen and West Street in West Oakland. Using the theme of super hero characters that embody the students' image and use special powers to address our community's deepest concerns, the murals were designed by elementary, middle, and high school students in District 3 with community participation in the design and painting process. The first of the five murals was conceptually designed by students from McClymonds High School. The second was conceptually designed by students from West Lake Middle School, the third by students from West Oakland Middle School, the fourth by students from Hoover Elementary, and the the fifth by students in ArtEsteems's Oakland Legacy Project after school program. All schools were engaged in the Self as Super Hero curriculum process. 59825 45258 Since 1998, ArtEsteem programmin has culminated in an annual student art exhibition. Students participate in a professional process of submitting artwork and artistic statements, and, if they choose, selling their pieces to the public. They receive half the proceeds from the art they sell, along with information about financial responsibility and higher education. The other half of the proceeeds goes back toward ArtEsteem programming. The 27th Annual ArtEsteem Exhibition theme was "Lighting our Future." The ArtEsteem team crafted this theme of replenishment and regeneration to provide hope amidst the struggles seen in students, school sites, communities, and the world. The 2025 Exhibition contained a wide range of artwork, including pieces from ArtEsteem Visual Arts, Digital Media, and Animation classes at 11 school sites, Oakland Legacy Project classes, St. Mary's Center portraits by elders taught by artist Jack Leamy's workshop, and a selection of pieces from ArtEsteem's archival collection. Our guests, staff, and parents informed us that this year's Exhibition was the best yet. (We seem to say this every year.) The 27th Annual Exhibition took place of Saturday, April 26, 2025, at Studio One Art Center in Oakland. Students submit works they wish to show and our teaching artists submit group projects from their classes. Our Artistic Development Manager is the curator. Each staff member assits to transform Studio One into a two-floor celebration of our students' passion and efforts. We created elementary, middle, and high school display areas. This year we added an animation and film room. In the main hall, the featured exhibit was shared by high school students from Emiliano Zapata Street Academy and a Special Education class from Allendale Elementary. The Digital Media Externship class from Street Academy showcased the art practice of black and white photography, with the chosen pieces enlarged to 4' X 2.5' canvases. The Visual Arts class from Allendale's project was a 3-tiered collage sculpture made with watercolor paper strips that were interactive, spinning around and amazing viewers. Our staff personally invite the parents and guardians of every student who has work on display. The principal of Allendale wanted to ensure that every student had a skill-based art opportunity. Seeing the interactive sculpture on the main floor entrance made him so proud. But it was the reaction from a student and his father that moved us to tears. "My son has never had anything on display. I'm so grateful for the patience of Miss Alexa. Look at him, he's proud, and I'm thankful. 1216347 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 24 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 6 true false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true true false false false X X Amana Harris 5106525530 3111 West Street Oakland CA 94608 Amana Harris Exec Director 40.00 0.00 X X 106290 0 0 Phyllis Hall ProgramDirector 40.00 0.00 X X 84892 0 0 Sabah Wilson Board Secretary 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Jones Board President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cesar Escalante Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Chapuis Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Williard Davis Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Lambert Board Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Terry Banks Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 191182 1 false false false 0 790989 672862 1463851 AHC prgrams 453905 453905 453905 18781 18781 0 0 0 0 0 0 2267 -2267 -2267 0 1934270 453905 16514 0 26291 26291 0 0 191182 126659 36712 27811 0 957936 634639 183947 139350 0 113874 76113 21416 16345 92728 63246 14749 14733 0 235 225 10 5600 775 4825 0 52420 52420 0 138963 138963 1497 270 283 944 0 4952 2042 1229 1681 0 53075 31845 13269 7961 44176 25099 4906 14171 0 0 0 0 56672 31689 24983 21410 11981 7405 2024 Suppliess & office expenses 28012 19751 7663 598 Equipment 20716 5712 9824 5180 Maintenance & repairs 17874 8805 8228 841 Special events 8516 8516 10271 3726 2234 4311 1846400 1216347 341683 288370 239083 391470 888099 717574 0 297783 377418 0 0 0 6555 6555 49938 19687 2546610 133741 2355257 2412869 0 0 0 0 3000 0 3839715 3925573 36354 55774 827977 795712 85964 96797 950295 948283 X 1733596 1904986 1155824 1072304 2889420 2977290 3839715 3925573 87870 X false true X true false X 718639 857849 1932982 1475384 1463851 6448705 0 0 718639 857849 1932982 1475384 1463851 6448705 0 6448705 5227 13864 25367 18781 63239 0 0 6511944 0.99030 0.99230 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2485656 107474 2378182 12425 451 11974 47529 24833 22696 1000 983 17 2412869 accrued wages 35067 Credit card payable 14953 Misc payables 21400 Student Scholarship Fund 2431 Vacation pay 22946 96797 X X X false true 0 0 Educational assistance 59 26291 X 1 102012 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Amana Harris is the mother of Sabah Wilson.
