Juniper Arts Academy exists to provide quality fine arts education to youth ages 11-18 in the foster care and juvenile justice communities. As of May 2021, there are approximately 1,150 youth in foster care in Sedgwick County, Kansas. When youth enter those systems, access to fine arts education is drastically reduced. We believe that access to fine arts education is critical to the development and overall well-being of youth, and Juniper is committed to making this opportunity available to local youth.
