ArtLab is an after school program for high school youth that incorporates concepts of the creative arts, youth development and workforce skills. ArtLab students work side-by-side with master artists to create and present new work in an atmosphere that fosters creativity, diversity, competence, asset development, mentoring, trust, and teamwork. Upon successful completion of the Spring Apprenticeship, each youth receives a $150 stipend and is able to apply for the paid Summer 2008 Intensive.
