Green Youth Arts and Media Center, an Art in Action sub-project, is set to open in mid January with state of the art computers, high-end software and recording studios. They’re planning to serve more than 200 Oakland inner city youth who are coping with gangs, violence and struggling to stay hopeful. According to the SF Chronicle, the Green Center is being funded by Peapod, a foundation started by the music group the Black Eyed Peas, and Adobe, maker of software such as Photoshop and Illustrator.
