ARTISTIC EXPRESSION IN ABUNDANCE THIS SPRING: NEW EXTREME YOUTH GROUPS

By April Caverhill, New Extreme Mentorship Program Coordinator

Artistic expression was in abundance this spring as our New Extreme youth groups and artist mentors collaborated on their projects.

I’ve learned so much from this year’s artists and students, and I am already looking forward to next year’s partnerships.
