From 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 Area Arts Council’s arts apprenticeship program for youth.
ArtsPlace, in its 16th 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 artwork. The ArtsPlace program runs June 14-July 27.
Applications are available at the Rockford Council, 713 E. State St., or through the Arts Council’s Web site, www.artsforeveryone.com [1]. 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. This year, the Arts Council will initiate “pay-what-you-can” tuition for ArtsPlace apprentices. Donations to ArtsPlace by individuals and area business are needed and appreciated. Contact the Rockford Area Arts Council for information about sponsorship possibilities: (815) 963-6765.
