About
Youth Arts in the Parks includes activities such as animation, creative arts and movement, and visual arts. Participants work on character development, storyboarding, animation editing, sound effects, and post production, and can also take part in music and singing, dance and movement, theatre, poetry and spoken word, drawing, painting, mixed media, fiber, and collage. Animation Arts classes use industry standard software, and visual arts classes focus on creating both 2-D and 3-D art.

Youth Arts in the Parks is an inclusive, socially-oriented arts program for children and youth ages 6–17 with and without disabilities, with young adults with disabilities welcome up to age 22. The program takes place in an inclusive, out-of-school social setting and includes a virtual orientation and meet and greet via Zoom, as well as a culminating event. The program is led by professional artists, art teachers, certified instructors, and disability experts.
Youth Arts in the Parks is presented by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs All Kids Included initiative in partnership with Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Therapeutic, Recreation & Inclusion, Miami-Dade Public Library System, The Sandrell Rivers Theater, and Arts for Learning/Miami. It was developed by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs as part of its “All Kids Included - Accessible Arts Experiences for Kids” initiative, which promotes inclusive arts and cultural programs in school settings and throughout the community so that kids of all abilities and their families can participate fully in the arts. All Kids Included is supported by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and in part through grant funding provided by The Taft Foundation and The Children’s Trust.
One participant shared, “My favorite part of Youth Arts in the Parks is my best friend Noah.”
