Cleveland, OH (November 2, 2012) — Teens interested in a paid arts internship and college readiness program may apply for Young Audiences’ ArtWorks Afterschool program. ArtWorks Afterschool provides students with the opportunity to work with master teaching artists, perform and/or exhibit their original work, and acquire 21st century career and collegiate skills such as time and project management, professional communication, problem solving and critical thinking. Teens will also take workshops on resume writing, financial aid, and more. Art opportunities include recording arts technology, fashion design, theater, and visual arts. Apprentices are paid a stipend during the program.
ArtWorks Afterschool is a commitment of two days per week from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., January 29 through May 2, 2013, with some Saturdays required for special events and performances. The program will take place at the Halle Building in downtown Cleveland. Spaces for this new opportunity are limited.

Applications for the summer ArtWorks program will be available on the Young Audiences website starting in January, 2013.
