Summer Youth Art Workshop: Community Poster Portfolio

Calling all curious and committed artists in grades 7–12!

Join us at the Center for the Arts for our 5th annual summer youth art collaboration. Over the last four years, our talented local youth have transformed spaces through incredible projects—from room murals and vibrant door vignettes to massive outdoor panels and ceramic texture tile installations.

This July, we are launching an exciting new multi-medium experience: The Collaborative Printmaking Workshop.

Participants will dive into the world of lino-cut block printing, collaborative stamping, and screen printing. Together, we will explore the themes of the arts—celebrating Music, Culinary, Literature, Dance, Theatre, and Visual Arts.

By the end of the workshop, every student will contribute to a community portfolio and walk away with their own one-of-a-kind, community-built, professionally framed poster!
