Desc	Youth ProgramsThe pandemic dramatically affected The Crucibles scholarship and outreach programs. Operating at 20% of capacity when we reopened in July, we lacked both staff and budget to fund scholarship access and offer free and subsidized programs at the same level as 2019. Nevertheless, The Crucibles Youth Education Programs were able to provide over $215,000 in services to young people to participate in the arts through hands-on learning experiences including, classes, field trips, outreach events, internships, teaching assistantships, and workshops during 2020. 843 young people were served in 2020 by these programs, 336 free of charge. Since its inception in 2010, more than 80 youth have graduated from the Fuego Program. Of the 80 who have completed the program, 47 are still engaged with The Crucible as faculty, administrative staff, or volunteers. Many have gone on to build successful careers in the construction trades, or have graduated from universities and art schools.The Crucible provided youth industrial arts programming that empowers youth to make deeper connections between science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on industrial arts lessons and project-based learning that builds skills. During six weeks of Summer Camp in 2020, 366 youth in 68 classes fabricated jewelry, bent glass into neon light sculptures, hammered hot steel into practical tools, and more. An additional 99 youth participated in after-school and weekend intensives throughout the year, including an expanded community bike program where youth built, fixed, and gave away working bikes to the community. During 2020, despite restricted operations, The Crucible offered free and discounted field trips, workshops, and in-school presentations to students from 34 schools, and paid leadership opportunities, and workforce development to 7 youth as part of our Fuego Youth Leadership Program.Adult ProgramsThe Crucibles mission is to inspire creative exploration and expression through welcoming, hands-on arts education and experiences for people of diverse ages and backgrounds regardless of income. As an innovative hub built around the industrial arts, The Crucible is a catalyst for individual growth and vibrant community connections. The Crucible is dedicated to inspiring creative growth in Oakland and the greater Bay Area.2020 was looking to be a banner year for The Crucible prior to the pandemic. Our core programs adult classes and workshops, youth industrial arts education, and community engagement all reached new levels of engagement for the first two months of 2020. Then, for the next four months, The Crucible was closed. On July 6th, The Crucible reopened at 20% capacity. Hands-on arts education programs, based in our West Oakland facility, were back in a limited way in some departments--these provided much-needed access to high-quality arts experiences for people of diverse ages and backgrounds. From blacksmithing to neon, glass casting, ceramics, welding, kinetics, and fire dancing, The Crucible was able to offer high-quality, hands-on arts education programs to more than 2,000 adults in 2020. This was an amazing credit both to our extremely skilled instructors, one of the largest cohorts of working artists in gather SF Bay area and to our studio staff who worked so hard to meet and exceed all COVID-19 safety protocols. Together, they were able to create a welcoming environment at a time when much human interaction was only happening on screens. TeamTeam Building - During 2019, The Crucible provided workshops for companies, schools, and other groups to collaborate on fabrication of industrial arts projects. During 2020, due to the pandemic, these offers were put on hold.StudiosThe Crucible provided affordable studios, stalls and locker spaces to two-dozen working artists. We developed The Crucibles Expanded Access to Tools & Equipment (CREATE) program as a way for current and former students to benefit from broader access to the tools and resources of The Crucible. During the pandemic, we waived studio rental fees for artists who had lost income. Our CREATE program was paused in 2020 due to COVID restrictions. Events: Paused in 2020During 2020, The Crucible offered some effective and innovative virtual arts programming while in-person programs were paused. We offered eight artists talks, which more than 300 people attended, and three virtual events connected to Crucible programs, including an August 2020 graduation event for our Year Two Fuego Youth Leaders, who did live demos and studio talks about their art practices and projects. We also participated in virtual versions of the Life is Living Festival and East Bay Mini-Maker Faire.	Desc
