Museum of Latin American Art

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA’s) Bilingual STEAM and ART Programs will serve approximately 1,000 underrepresented Los Angeles County K-12 youth through programs such as STEAM Sundays and STEAM Week at Summer Camp. Providing hands-on STEAM activities and learning opportunities outside the school environment that allow for developing STEAM skills in an accessible and appealing way to students.

STEAM Sundays for Career Pathways extends MOLAA's existing STEAM programming to hands-on learning workshops across 24 Sundays, engaging LA County youth and their families in free STEAM arts education led by Teaching Artists. These experiences expand interdisciplinary critical thinking skills through Latin American and Latinx art, also engaging local STEAM Professionals in creative industries to talk about their career pathways, helping lift the barriers to representation of Latinx and other marginalized groups in STEAM careers.

"STEAM Sundays at MOLAA" provides youth and families with free STEAM-based arts education during MOLAA's "Free Sundays" while providing Los Angeles County STEAM Teaching Artists creative industry employment opportunities. The project increases access to Museum STEAM programs, removes language barriers by providing English and Spanish programming, and provides STEAM Teaching Artists with employment and professional experience.
