Art @ Work Program gets Started on July 9th

Artists age 14-16 begin the Summer Session of the Art@Work Program on Monday at the West End Performing Arts Center.

Art at work is an impact driven job readiness program that uses art as a vehicle to teach 21st century employment skills to under-served teens in Fulton County. Emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, the program uses theater, visual arts, creative writing and dance to prepare them for a positive future.

All the participating students had to submit examples of their art and letters of recommendation to be accepted into the program.

This year's participants will be paid a stipend to perform their summer duties and to partake in a collective production and exhibit and the end of the summer program.

Cascade Patch looks forward to meeting the the young artists later in the summer and posting their work to our site! Stay Tuned!
