Creativity. Engagement. Resilience.
Creativity. Engagement. Resilience.
The Quinan Street Project is committed to equity for all races, genders, and the queer/LGBTQ+ community, and this value is the backbone of every action we take. We are committed to continuing our work as an anti-racist organization and face hard conversations with an open heart, an open mind, and open ears.
The Quinan Street Project fights to provide accessible visual and performing arts education to children and public elementary schools in Contra Costa County. Through virtual classroom residencies, summer camps, and workshops, QSP is dedicated to igniting confidence, literacy, and creativity in our students.
We believe...
Every child deserves equal access to arts education.
Learning should not only be fun, but engaging for all different kinds of learners.
Theatre education can transcend the stage and open doors to an abundance of educational discoveries.
Education is an inherently political act.
Classes available via Zoom to any public classroom in Contra Costa County.
This five-lesson module was developed in response to the emotional toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on all of us. Theatre education is a safe and brave space to have honest conversations as we heal in community.
