Summer Studios

The Summer Studio Program: The Summer Studio Program was developed to provide an opportunity for emerging artists to create and exhibit work that responds to, engages and/or is reflective of community. This program is open to local college and university students with a major or minor in the visual arts, who are interested in making art in an urban community setting.
