The public is
invited to attend the ArtWorks closing program on
Shaker Square on
Friday June 24 at 6 pm. See a display of the students' final
work and a culminating performance.
ArtWorks is designed to provide the time and space to
help students expand their artistic talents, create
original works of art and gain valuable skills needed for
the workforce like project planning, teamwork, creative
thinking, and collaboration with diverse individuals.
Project artists include Hector Kesler Castellanos (visual
arts), Carol Adams (visual arts), Baba Jubal Harris (music), Scott Miller
(theater), Susana Evert (dance) and Piet Van Lier (photography).
The public is invited to stop in and observe the
artists and students in action. All visual artwork will be
on display and the dance, music and drama apprentices will
perform regularly.
