3. From the Director
2011 marked an exciting year of change for Street-Level.
After several years of planning and much anticipation, we laid the foundation for our future growth with
the opening of our new multimedia center this past fall. Street-Level made bold goals that entailed some
risks when we set out to develop this new site amidst uncertain economic times. However, like all our
efforts, we rose up and met the challenge because of our steadfast commitment to give underserved youth
the best educational media arts experience to support their growth.
Within our new walls, Street-Level has built a digital playground where young people can discover their
passions and explore new ways of expressing themselves. We’ve equipped our studio and classroom
training labs with tools that help youth stretch their imaginations and learn to be nimble in our everchanging media and technology landscape. We’ve designed a culturally-vibrant and inviting space for
young people from across the city to gather regularly, so they can share and celebrate their artistic talents
with one another.
Through our media arts programs, we’ve also established a supportive environment for youth to cultivate
their unique voice, learn to communicate with confidence, and responsibly engage with the world
around them. In collaboration with their peers and adult mentors, young people process the issues they
face, formulate questions to investigate, and together, nurture intergenerational visions of better futures
through the media they create.
Street-Level is proud of the media arts opportunities we have developed for our youth. My heartfelt thanks go
to all our staff, Board, partners, and supporters whose contributions make this important work possible.
Sincerely,
Manwah Lee
Executive Director

4. OUR MISSION
Street-Level Youth Media educates Chicago’s urban youth in media arts and emerging
technology for use in self-expression, communication, and social change.
Street-Level’s programs build critical thinking skills for young people who have been
historically neglected by public policy makers and mass media.
Using video, audio, graphic design, digital photography, and the Internet, Street-Level
youth address community issues, access advanced technology, and gain inclusion in
our information-based society.

5. about Street-Level
STREET-LEVEL YOUTH MEDIA sprang from a simple idea: What if young people had
video cameras to document the world as they saw it? What stories would they tell?
What could they teach us?
As it turned out: everything. In the summer of 1992, as part of Sculpture Chicago’s
“Culture in Action” initiative, west side Chicago youth made forty videos on topics
ranging from gangs and families to the gradual gentrification of their neighborhood.
The youth collaborated with an artist collective and threw a giant block party where
their videos were installed on monitors up and down the street. The block party
attracted over one thousand visitors — and national attention.
The success of this and subsequent community-based public art efforts inspired
Street-Level to officially incorporate as a nonprofit organization, dedicated to youth
empowerment through media.
On the eve of the twentieth anniversary of that first project, Street-Level now annually
engages nearly 1,000 young people from all over Chicago in media arts production.
Programs have grown to include audio and music production, stop-motion animation,
multimedia journalism, digital photography, and graphic design. Training workshops take
place year-round at our new West Town community multimedia center. Street-Level
also partners with Chicago Public Schools and other youth providers to bring our media
expertise into the classroom and to out-of-school settings.
Under the guidance of our professional media instructors, youth gain not just
technical media skills, but also essential critical thinking and digital literacy skills for
today’s information-driven world. At Street-Level, youth find a safe and supportive
environment to speak out on what matters most to them and their communities.
In all programs, Street-Level creates opportunities for youth to access media arts
and digital technology not readily available in their schools or homes. More than 95%
of Street-Level participants are youth of color and about 85% hail from low-income
families. All of our programs are offered free of charge, eliminating financial barriers to
media arts participation.

9. our new home
IN FALL 2011, Street-Level opened the doors to our new
multimedia center at 1637 North Ashland Avenue. The
facility features two Mac computer labs, a youth media
gallery, and a professional-level multimedia production
studio with two control rooms and a multipurpose sound
stage — all designed exclusively for young people.
Street-Level celebrated the new center with a grand
opening benefit on September 29. The gala offered friends
and supporters a unique behind-the-scenes preview of the
center’s construction before youth media workshops got
underway on October 17.
Since opening day, Street-Level has welcomed youth,
educators, and community members for after-school
workshops, school field trips, film screenings, performances,
and our youth-led Free 4 All open mic night.

Youth Spotlight: Darion Williams-Bangs
SWING BY STREET-LEVEL just about any afternoon and you’re likely to find Clemente High School senior
Darion Williams-Bangs in the studio working the mixing board or writing music.
A 2011 participant in the Summer Arts Apprenticeship Program (SAAP), Darion has grown along with StreetLevel’s audio programs in the last year and a half, as both moved from the limited production space at StreetLevel’s previous location to the current state-of-the-art recording studio.
Darion’s experience of recording his first beat in Street-Level’s afterschool program at Clemente hooked him
on the process. “It was kind of exciting because you get an idea of how you want this to sound, how you want
everyone else to react from it. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is so awesome.’”
Building on that success, Darion was selected for SAAP, an intensive eight-week experience that allowed him to develop his skills
even more. His final project was a three-part hip-hop production titled “Back to Reality” that documented a young man’s journey
through life’s challenges.
While learning different beat-making programs and how to run the mixing board have occupied a lot of Darion’s time, it is his
growth as an artist that he identifies as the program’s biggest impact. Before Street-Level, he says, “I would just write music just to
do it, but now I actually start to think about, what am I writing? What message am I trying to display?”
A young man who considers himself a positive artist, Darion has big goals for his future in music. “The music that I make in my
head, I hear it as a number one hit. That’s how I view everything that I do and that’s the way I want everyone else to view it, as
something special, something you could vibe to.”

Street-Level has teamed with Vaughn for more than three years, during which
time students have written and produced original media that share positive
messages and reduce sterotypes.
The work is part of Vaughn’s senior seminar, in which students use the training
they receive from Street-Level to develop life skills and engage in advocacy on
behalf of their peers.
In 2011, Vaughn students collaborated to produce create songs and videos
that addressed cyberbullying, disability pride, and the importance of respecting
young women. The partnership was strengthened and extended through field
trips to Street-Level’s multimedia center.
“With the help of the experts from Street-Level,” said teacher Kelly Tepastte,
“we are able to give students creative license in their work and help them create
incredible music and video. I am very proud of my students and extremely
thankful for the opportunity to work with Street-Level Youth Media.”
