We are launching JuxtaLab, a mentorship-based social enterprise program which will employ and train 75–100 youth and young adult artists per year, in order to create a path for them to enter a
blossoming 21st Century creative class economy. JuxtaLab is organized into five studio divisions (Textile Design, Graphic Design, Painting, Digital Media/Photography, and Environmental Design), where youth and emerging artists will work 2–3 days a week, 2–3 hours a day, producing a range of work, from posters, logos, screen prints, photography and video marketing

products, to murals, pocket parks and creative public engagement projects. By 2013 all divisions will be up and running and will employ and train 75 youth and emerging artists per year thereafter.
