A Letter from OSA’s Executive Director, Mike Oz Dear OSA Friends, We hope you see in these pages the impact your support has at OSA each day. For more than two decades, OSA has stood as a core part of Downtown Oakland—a singular community asset that lifts up young artists and the simple truth that creative expression is essential.

Even as downtown areas across the country are experiencing challenges, OSA remains a cornerstone of creativity and innovation in Oakland. Our students continue to thrive on their course of becoming the future leaders and changemakers we are all depending on.

Achievements from 2022-23 that we are proud to share with you include:

• 97% of our Class of 2023 graduated and of those students, 88% applied to 2/4 year post-secondary programs; • 100% of students who chose to apply to post-secondary programs received acceptance letters; • We gained much-needed classroom and performance space with the addition of the OSA Digital, Visual, Media Arts (DVMA) Space and Sweet’s Ballroom; • We held the second annual OSA Summer Arts Academy, providing more than 100 Bay Area young people with specialized arts training; and • We partnered with the City of Oakland, Oakland Roots and Soul, and Skate Like a Girl, to begin developing the OSA Uptown Art Park on the vacant lot across from OSA. 2023 was also a year of transition. Our Board Chair, Josefina Alvarado Mena, completed her term after providing inspiring leadership through the challenging time of pandemic recovery. We are grateful to her for her support as a Board Chair, an OSA parent, and a community leader. Leadership of this caliber is rare and was exactly what OSA needed in the most trying times.

We also welcomed our new Board Chair, Safia Fasah. Safia is a proud Oakland native, an attorney, and a graduate of Oakland School for the Arts, class of 2011. We are thrilled that an OSA alumna with deep ties to our community has stepped into this important role. Her direct experience with the school in its formative years is a significant asset to the key leadership role she holds in supporting me in moving OSA forward while being true to our roots.

Thank you for supporting OSA, a place where youth arts is honored and nurtured. Because of you, we can offer an intensive arts education that is world-class, equitable, and tuition-free—an arts education that has the power to transform the lives of 800 students every year.

In gratitude, Mike Oz Executive Director

OSA in the Community STE P IT U P OSA established Step it Up in 2013 with the goals of making an arts education accessible to underserved Oakland youth and providing training for students to enroll at OSA. The program offers free arts instruction to students in grades 5 through 8, who live in the City of Oakland and attend Title 1 schools that lack arts education. Students can choose from several arts disciplines: Visual Art, Theatre, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Media Arts, Dance, Literary Arts, and Production Design.

Students that complete Step it Up are given priority for enrolling at OSA when they apply. In 2022-23, 49 students completed Step it Up and 20 of those students enrolled at OSA in the fall of the 2023-24 school year.

Also, due to a generous grant from the San Francisco Symphony, OSA offered one-on-one lessons to former Step it Up students enrolled at OSA to bolster their music education.

SUMME R ARTS ACADEMY Throughout June, OSA offered its Summer Arts Academy, open to all youth ages 9-14. Students chose to study in one of 8 arts areas: Musical Theater, Dance Academy, Alternative Fashion Design, Theater Improv, Screenwriting, Vocal Music, Video Game Design, and Audio Production and Engineering.

The program served 112 students, 75% of whom were not enrolled students at OSA, making the program a community asset for Bay Area families. There was high demand for new sessions on video game design and screenwriting. Fees from the Academy contributed to OSA’s continuing efforts to generate revenue to meet its annual fundraising goal and sustain its unique arts programming year-round.

Make Some Sound for OSA’s Newest Arts Pathway This year, OSA added a new Arts Pathway—Audio Production and Engineering (AP&E). Since 2018, AP&E classes have been offered in the Instrumental Music Pathway, but because of its popularity and student desire for more courses in this area, OSA has now made AP&E its 10th career preparatory Arts Pathway. In addition to the pathway, there are four AP&E electives, two for middle school and two for high school, making AP&E learning available to students in other arts pathways.

Kumar Butler, the AP&E Arts Chair, is excited that there is now a department centered on AP&E, and is looking forward to expanding the program because he knows there is high demand for it. Mr. Butler explained, “There’s a growing interest in computer-based production and composition, and OSA is preparing our students for college and careers in this area.”

Within AP&E, students learn a full range of sound engineering and music production skills, including live music recording, sound mixing, and Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), the music industry standard computer language that communicates the information contained in a musical performance. The AP&E Pathway will also support a podcast that is student designed and student run. The podcast will offer opportunities for collaboration across arts pathways, with a particularly strong link between AP&E and Literary Arts.

OSA is in an incredible location for connecting students to opportunities in the field. Students in the AP&E Pathway have access to field trips, master classes taught by local experts, and internships.

Mr. Butler is excited about the possibilities for his students. He added, “Our students learn in an area that has Pixar Animation Studios, Dolby Studios, UC Berkeley Theater, and Skywalker Sound, to name a few. There are so many ways we can work with community partners to prepare our students for life after OSA.”

Annual Fund The Annual Fund provides support that is critical to an OSA education. OSA’s budget and investment in our students is comparable to most other public schools in California, with 83% of our funding from state and federal grants and contracts and 17% from contributions for our innovative arts and academic education. With a longer school day for high school to integrate the arts, our arts program costs exceed $4 million annually. Donations to the Annual Fund directly fund OSA arts programs, arts faculty, technology, facility maintenance and upgrades, as well as special programs.

OSA Uptown Art Park Given the footprint of our facilities, OSA has no dedicated, outside space. OSA’s physical education programming takes place in public parks and open areas in downtown Oakland. For students’ overall wellbeing, they need access to an outside space that feels safe and welcoming, provides space to exercise, allows them to engage socially with their peers, and gives them a change of scenery.

In response to this need, OSA presented our case to the City of Oakland to activate the vacant lot across the street (1911 Telegraph Avenue) and is now partnering with The Oakland Roots and Soul and Skate Like a Girl to reclaim this important space adjacent to ARTIST RENDERING our campus, both for the benefit of OSA students and the broader community. In response OSA’s request for use of public space for our physical education, wellness, and other outdoor activities, the Oakland City Council voted unanimously to approve a low-cost lease to OSA. What is now a vacant plot of land will be transformed into a vibrant community asset. Having access to a dedicated physical education space nearby will increase the safety of our students, increase class time for physical education, and provide space for after-school sports, recreation, and outdoor performances.

P URP OSE & GOAL S OSA will lease the property at 1911 Telegraph Avenue, engage other anchor tenants, make tenant improvements, and utilize the lot for physical education classes, recreation, and outdoor performances.

GOAL S INC LUD E: • Create a dedicated, secure place for OSA students to engage in planned physical education classes; • Create a space for OSA students to go for recess and during lunch periods that is outdoors and supervised; • Provide basketball courts, a turf soccer field, and open space for free play during class breaks and for local community organizations to provide inclusive sports programming; • Create an outdoor performance space for theater, concerts, and recitals; • Explore the possibility of specialty activities such as a skateboard area and a vertical climbing/dance imaging wall; and

ARTIST RENDERINGS

• Revitalize a vacant lot in Uptown Oakland to beautify the area and enhance the Uptown experience for the community at large until which time the property is developed years from now.

11

Oakland School for the Arts Financial Statement OSA is funded by a combination of federal, state, and local sources. Each year, the school must raise 17% of its annual revenue from philanthropic sources.

As OSA does not charge tuition, the school depends on donations to bridge the gap between government funds and OSA’s per student costs.
