Separate from the Bubbler's official Artist-In-Residence program taking place in libraries and out in the community, the Making Justice Artist-In-Residence series brings a local artist to Dane County Juvenile Detention Center and Dane County Juvenile Court Shelter Home, in addition to our weekly workshop commitment, to offer an intensive series that explores a specific genre. Check out the CREATIONS page for examples of the projects brought to teens on a weekly rotation. ![]() Making Justice partners include community advisors who review program design and suggest resources guest facilitators who help design and lead program sessions juvenile justice agencies that review program design and supervise program teens media art consultants who provide design and technical support secondary-school educators who facilitate curriculum development and UW programs that support Making Justice faculty and students. Collaborative projects accommodate a variety of interests, skills and learning styles, and are contextualized to connect with teen experiences and community resources see Creations for examples. ![]() The project-based workshops foster hands-on, peer-supported learning and digital literacy, connecting teens with diverse community and campus partners, including faculty and students from University of Wisconsin-Madison.* Workshop participants create graphic and 3D art, photographic, spoken word, storytelling, performance and video projects documenting themselves, their communities and the justice system. Weekly Making Justice workshops and resources annually serve over 500 at-risk and court-involved local teenagers, in collaboration with the Dane County Juvenile Court Detention Center, the Dane County Juvenile Court Shelter Home, the Neighborhood Intervention Program, and several classrooms within Madison Metropolitan School District. Initially developed as a Wisconsin Idea initiative, the program was originally seeded in part by grants from both UW-Madison's Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment and Morgridge Center for Public Service, along with a National Leadership Grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Making Justice is currently funded by Scooter Software, Epic Software, Leila & Mickey Straus Family Foundation, Madison Arts Commission, Dane Arts, and Madison Public Library Foundation. Learn more about the orientation process for leading workshops by reading the Making Justice Facilitators Guide. While teen participants are focused on creating a FINAL PRODUCT, workshop leaders are more concerned with relationship building, basic skill development and connection to the community. Learn more about the making of this operation and how the program developed with a behind the scenes conversation with core community partners. Offered in collaboration with a diverse spectrum of artists, educators and activists, Making Justice fosters community engagement and self-expression via graphic and 3D art, photography, spoken word, performance, video and life skills projects. The program addresses the nation's widest black/white educational opportunity gap and highest per capita black juvenile arrest and incarceration rate. Making Justice is a community-based learning program for at-risk and court-involved teens that includes weekly workshops and an artist-in-residence opportunity. ![]()
