Artstart provides job training in the arts for Sonoma County youth while creating public art.
We offer month-long paid art apprenticeships in which young artists ages 14 to 21 are mentored by professional artists to work on commissioned projects including murals, mosaics, park benches and more. Apprentices gain work experience in professional public art practice and learn transferable job skills while beautifying their community. Long term paid internships are also available through our partnership with Petaluma People’s Services.

Drop-in sessions are held on months that we do not run apprenticeship sessions. Drop-in Sessions are held on Thursday afternoons from 2 pm to 6 pm. This October, Drop-In sessions will be held on October 7, 14, 21, 28.
Please RSVP to the sessions you would like to attend by emailing us at info@artstart.us.
Students do not have to apply to attend Drop-in Sessions, commit to all three sessions, or stay for the full 4 hour window. If you only have an hour to spare, come spend it creating! Participants will be helping Artstart Lead Artists with a range of current commissions and projects. These can include painting, mosaics, design work, and more.
Artstart aims to provide professional artistic mentorship to the creative youth of Sonoma County. Through their work with Artstart, teens will learn the time and planning that goes into commissioned professional art. Designing, choosing and mixing colors, manual fabrication with power tools, communicating with clients, and managing the timeline of a job, are all aspects of professional art practice that the apprentice will have exposure to.
Drop-in Sessions are a great opportunity for new participants to be introduced to Artstart before applying and committing to a full session as an Artstart apprentice.
