12 ArtLab interns were selected through an application process for the spring ArtLab II program. Over 3 months, interns had several unique experiences including working with Creative Resident Lisa Michot to create papier-mâché tableaus exploring contemporary social issues, fieldtrips to galleries, and other mixed-media projects. They culminated their internships with a special project called “Freedom to be…heard.” Interns researched current hot topics related to issues of Freedom and engaged students within their own schools and communities to create 6x8 inch cards in mixed-media. Each card reflected an interpretation of personal or global freedom issues and participants ranged in age from 5-20 years of age. In all, 658 cards were exhibited on the walls of PlatteForum for the opening celebration on May 25, 2006. Additionally, interns armed with video-cameras hit the streets of Denver to interview random people on what Freedom meant to them. The resulting footage was edited into a diverse collection of opinions and projected at the opening event.
