Creative Development of Young Artists
The SANMAN Academy Creative Development for Young Artists (“CDYA”) program is designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young artists aged 16-25 to express their creativity in various mediums and collaborate in an interactive learning environment with their peers and professional practitioners. SANMAN recognizes that the novice often suppresses the passion for creating art and lacks encouragement in the scholastic setting.
Local artists encourage participants to conjure concepts, experiences, and/or persons in their environment to use as inspiration for the creative process. Facilitators will guide participants on using various mediums to express their interpretations, ranging from photography (film/video) to set design and artistic workforce implementation. The program will be facilitated at our facilities, SANMAN Studios, or neighboring creative spaces.
Sanman Production Sponsorship
As an extension of the CDYA, we facilitate a monthly production sponsorship initiative. The See A Need - Meet a Need Foundation will sponsor up to 8 hours of studio time towards a conceptual visual production project at Sanman Studios; all available Sanman Studios equipment and items will be included. Only individuals between the ages of 18 - 25 are allowed to apply to the program. (Personal identification is required). The SANMAN Academy production sponsorship will open on the first of each month and close on the 5th. The project must be scheduled the same month of the application and the final results must be submitted 30 days from the scheduled shoot date.
