ArtsPlace Applications Available Now
by Press Release
Do you know a young, aspiring artist between 14-18 years old who would benefit from spending the summer developing artistic skills, increasing self confidence and learning what it takes to become a responsible and valued employee? Encourage him or her to apply to ArtsPlace, the Rockford Arts Council’s arts apprenticeship program for youth.
ArtsPlace, in its sixteenth year, is an arts apprenticeship program in which youth work in teams instructed by professional artists to create art that is sold or performed for the public. The youth share in the proceeds made through ticket sales and purchase of the art work. The ArtsPlace program runs from June 14 to July 27.
Applications are now available at the Rockford Council, 713 East State or through the Arts Council web site: www.artsforeveryone.com. Youth from Winnebago and Boone Counties are eligible to apply. The deadline to return applications is Friday, April 30.
The mission of the Arts Council is to support, promote and develop the arts for everyone. We know the power of the arts to change lives. ArtsPlace was created to give youth from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds that opportunity. This year we will initiate “pay-what-you-can” tuition for ArtsPlace apprentices. Donations to ArtsPlace by individuals and area business are needed and appreciated. Please contact the Rockford Area Arts Council for information on sponsorship possibilities: 815-963-6765.
