KICKSTART is a self-directed drop-in program for teens grades 9-12. Facilitated by a local artist, KICKSTART encourages young artists to imagine, plan, create and share art-based projects and events to develop skills for the arts industry. Along with exploring new art forms, teens will learn the stages of project design, planning and implementation with opportunities to execute various community based projects and exhibitions. Throughout the year, teens will get a chance to visit with guest artists and professionals who will provide insight into their careers in the arts industry. Our goal is to provide teens a safe space to explore, discover, expand and share their creativity
