Summer Arts Intensive Update
 Thank you to all the parents, friends, and supporters who came out for our first Student Presentation Night on July 22. We had an incredibly successful evening of sharing art & fun. To view pictures & student artworks from this event & from the Summer Arts Intensive so far, please visit the SA Gallery Page! We hope that you will be able to join us for the second & final Student Presentation Night of the summer - mark your calendars for Thursday, August 5th from 6pm to 8pm.Students at this year's Summer Intensive have already completed incredible projects in art & design, including: photography, silkscreening, graphic design, animation, decoupage, stop-motion animation, layout design, & more, bringing many professional tools to their already strong passion for self-expression. Students also visit a NYC cultural institution each week - now they can boast that they've been on set at WABC, been treated to special tours at the Smack Mellon Gallery in DUMBO and at the Brooklyn Museum in Prospect Heights, plus there's more to come! We will visit Martha Graham Dance in Manhattan and The Art Library in Red Hook before the end of the summer. With so many friendships to make & inspiring projects to complete, it's no wonder that one student remarked, "When I come here, I feel like an artist - like I can do anything and nothing is impossible." |
Exciting Changes to the Afterschool Program
 Starting Artists is pleased to announce some changes in the way that we will be running our Afterschool Program this fall!
First & foremost, we will offer the Afterschool Program to ages 10 - 19. We offer a warm welcome to our new 10 and 11 year-olds! The community asked for it, and we are happy to deliver.
Further, building on the success of the Summer Intensive's structure, we will pilot a new Afterschool structure. During an Enrollment Week at the end of September, Students (ages 10 - 14) will sign up to participate at SA and will pay a sliding-scale fee while teens aged 14 - 19 may sign up as Interns who mentor the younger students on a work-study basis.
We will continue to offer one free drop-in day every week, clubs like the Creative Entrepreneurs Club and the Girls Club, and special workshops like always. Keep checking the website for details and email Lacey with questions or to secure a spot today. |
