What is it all about?
Art Partners is an exciting program that promotes the use of the arts to channel energy into positive behavior in young people. Art programs provide stepping stones for healthy development. Art can change attitudes, build self-esteem and redirect paths in a positive direction.
Who can be an Art Intern?
Area youth between the ages of 13 and 17 who have an interest in furthering their abilities in art and are referred by a professional in the community.
Who can be an Art Mentor?
Any adult who feels they have a skill to share and the desire to create a positive difference in the life of a young person in their community.
As an adult what can I do?
YOU can offer the gift of your time and talents in a field of mutual interest with a young person. As an artist YOU know the gratification gained in creating. Imagine bringing about this same feeling in a young person who needs a boost at a critical time in their life.
What will it cost me?
Your cost will be your expertise, enthusiasm for your craft, and three hours a week for twelve weeks. The Art Partner program will furnish art supplies for the youth.
What is the Art Partner Exhibition?
The Annual Exhibition is a traveling art show held in Delta, Montrose and Ouray Counties. All participating artists are invited to enter up to four works in the show. There is no entry fee. This is our gift to those participating in the program. Each show will be extensively publicized and will have an opening reception.
