The Oceanside Community Foundation recently announced $80,000 in grants to six nonprofit organizations for programs aimed and promoting diversity and inclusion for local students. Lifeline was awarded $10,000 for its Open HeART (Arts Reflecting Togetherness) program, which commissions local artists to work side-by-side with the youth participants to create culturally relevant installations.
The projects will foster mentorship, engagement, diversity & inclusion of youth, and constructive use of art. Culturally relevant installations foster a sense of belonging and celebrate diversity. Open HeART also provides an opportunity to join in Oceanside’s Cultural District artistry. The projects are anticipated to be completed by January 1, 2022.
