Happy New Year Youth Artists!
I am so excited for this new year. So many things are happening fast. We have some new equipment in our studio and will be engaging in new processes for our printmaking and our brand-new 3D Printing elements class which will be hosted every Thursday. For students that are interested in attending art school, we need to start having some serious conversations about getting portfolios together and also making sure that we are able to come up with a strategic plan to get you into your first-choice school. We are providing some resources and collaborating with some people to help with FAFSA forms and also some workshops that are coming up that will engage you in applying for scholarships. Looking forward to seeing all of you in the new year and we are also looking forward to seeing some new faces in YAP. Please review the schedule for January and our overview of projects.
