About the After School Arts Program:
The After School Arts Program (ASAP) provides innovative and
experimental arts programming for artists, curators, historians and
critics interested in continuing their education in the visual arts.

ASAP is a not-for-profit community service offering lectures, salons,
workshops, critiques, exhibitions, film screenings and publications.
Dedicated to producing an educational and creative space outside of
the university system, ASAP is a bridge between the rigors of academia
and the plasticity of the natural world. Supporting programs/curricula
that might not exist with in a university setting, ASAP is committed
to experimentation and the ideology that the current status quo for
arts education is not the most effective method for engaging
contemporary audiences. ASAP does not advocate a superior method for
communicating ideas visually but rather promotes alternative modes of
understanding.
