EXHIBITION & OPENING RECEPTION! URBAN DESIGN & THE NEXT GENERATION

A Multi-Media Interactive Installation by Montalvo’s Youth Action Coalition

Join us in the Project Space Gallery for the opening reception of the Youth Action Coalition's exhibit: Urban Design & the Next Generation!

The field of urban planning traditionally exists within the confines of City Hall, but challenging times call for new approaches to the envisioning of our city’s future. From Montalvo Arts Center’s commitment to the next generation comes the 2008 Youth Action Coalition with ADOBE Youth Voices, led by popular education crew, headRush, explores the future of Downtown San José through theatre-based activities, visual art and digital media.

The YAC, a diverse group of mostly high school age students from seven Silicon Valley schools, met weekly for 11 weeks before joining with additional youth for a one-week Summer Institute to create this installation - the students' vision for Downtown San José.
