University of Hip-Hop

combines art and the urban landscape through dance, poetry, music, mural arts and gardening in an environment that promotes respect for all cultures and the world around us. Working with professional artist, participants learn the histories, philosophies, and methods of urban art forms with particular emphasis on the values of the Youth Liberation Movement. Community service is a central component of this program and typically involves replacing graffiti vandalism with professional-quality murals, breakdancing or DJ'ing for special events, and hosting open mic nights for the community.
