Become an ArtWorks Apprentice
What is an ArtWorks Apprenticeship?
ArtWorks Apprentices are passionate young artists (must be between the ages of 14-21) who work side-by-side with Teaching Artists to create public art and community impact projects. Projects can include (but are not limited to) painting, drawing, photography, design, sewing, and community engagement.
Beyond art making, our creative professional development training and team experiences prepare Apprentices to elevate their skills in collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, goal orientation, and growth orientation. Through our program, Apprentices develop lifelong friendships and bonds with their teammates and connect with their communities through a collaborative creative process.
