ENTREPRENEURSHIP & The ARTS

   

Artisans Enterprise
Artists can make money! This workshop focuses on the strengths of young artistry and business. We provided resources and direction for youth seeking to become true professionals through art. We answer the “how to” questions and create an atmosphere for personal and business entrepreneurial growth. This class is limited to enrollment.

Community Arts
These activities will be open to all of our youth. Here they will get exposure to culture, music, dance and an array of other diversified performances. We also provide performances by storytellers, ethnic / tribal dancers, poets, singers, musicians, actors, actresses, historians, educators, artists and others. Our goal is to introduce cultural diversity, encourage exposure to the arts and maintain a standard of supporting our community.

Creative Critique
This workshop is for those looking to have their work critiqued and/or enhanced. Instructors will look over your completed artwork and discuss individually the strengths and weaknesses of each piece. Students will receive professional criticism and gain insight on how to better market
their work.
