This was our eighth year partnering with Hope Academy in S. Minneapolis during their summer session! We offered our Art Exploration program for 85 middle school students and 10 high school interns with classes in Filmmaking, Photo-storytelling, Song Writing, Theater and Speed Painting. The purpose of the program was to offer a creative platform for students to explore and unleash their creative voices and our theme was “created2create!” Check out all the great work from students that was presented at the Community Showcase event on Thursday July 5th. A big THANK YOU to the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council for an Arts Learning Grant, and to all our partners and donors who helped make this program possible!
