Making a Difference in Our Community Through Art

In this multi-disciplinary residency, students immerse themselves in the power of art to address social and community problems. Students will understand how to design and implement creative campaigns that make a difference in their community. Students will utilize brainstorming, creative problem solving, and critical thinking skills to create an arts event and exhibit, focusing on a central problem they want to address. Students will write a proposal, mission statement, and letters to community members as part of the project, and record their own Public Service Announcements. Students will design their own silkscreen t-shirts, posters, websites, and printed invitations to the exhibit/event where they will showcase their artwork.
