Socially Engaged Art Making Workshop for Teens: Tuesdays 4-6pm, 2/24/12 - 4/24/12

Are you intrigued by how art is shaped by the community, and how the community shapes ideas of art? If you are between the ages of 14-17 this workshop may interest you. This is a free 10 week course, in which the class will investigate the social as material, in a range of formats, from public art objects and intervention, to performance and happenings, to conversation, documentary, alternative education, and others. We’ll make art influenced by your local youth culture and put art out into the community. The course will focus on individual and group art projects. Our final projects will culminate with collaborations for/with/about local community partners.

If you are interested in attending this workshop, please submit a CV that outlines why you would like to be in the course and any collaborative experience you have had (this can be anything from group projects or sports to even hanging out with friends). All application CV’s must be submitted to danae.hutson@pam.org by February 1, 2012.
