For six hours a day, five days a week, ArtWorks apprentices create exciting work in theater, dance, music, photography and visual arts while learning professionalism and responsibility. In addition to creating art, apprentices host performances and exhibitions of their work that are enjoyed by the entire community, and work with their Teaching Artist to develop a professional portfolio.
Several times throughout the program, guest speakers from the business, arts, and civic community speak with the apprentices about their own careers and the various ways that arts skills and creativity are valued in business settings.
Additionally, ArtWorks provides apprentices and their parents with workshops about the college application and financial aid processes.
