TRANSIT ARTS, young artists on the move, transports young people to a place of discovery â€" where creative abilities expand & doors open to a world of possibilities. TRANSIT ARTS is a citywide youth arts development program of Central Community House and the Columbus Federation of Settlements and works in partnership with the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education. TRANSIT ARTS is rooted in a rich history of community engagement and enlists young artists, ages 12-21, in intensive programs of coaching by outstanding artists and other professionals from the creative industries. The TRANSIT ARTS Performance Group is a dynamic blend of outstanding professional artists and talented youth artists inspiring and challenging one another to honor our roots while creating fresh new work. Rhythms rise from turntables, microphones, and dancing feet, as poets, hip-hop emcees, breakdancers, DJs, beatboxers, and visual artists flow together to create a breathtaking, and interactive, multi-disciplinary performance experience. Young artists on the move in the right direction for a prosperous future, will demonstrate through their creative arts performance the education they have gained through research of African-American artists. They will display their talents in a skillful and exhilarating performance that infuses both visual art, poetry, beat boxing, and music. Our program serves as a catalyst for youth to know their potential, to dream and reach towards their futures. But before they can do that, they will pay tribute to those creatives who have come before and paved the way for them. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
