Posted @withregram • @themarktwainhouse Applications for Neighborhood Studios 2021 are open!
Neighborhood Studios is the Greater Hartford Arts Council's arts education program for local teens, ages 14-18. Working as paid apprentices at some of Hartford’s most renowned cultural institutions, students receive training in dance, theatre, photography, writing, stage design, music, and public art.
Apprentices are paid a $100 weekly stipend, teaching them the important responsibility of a paying job. The Greater Hartford Arts Council’s Neighborhood Studios develops emerging artists and teaches teens the value of creativity and fundamental career skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce.
At the Write to the Point Studio, hosted at The Mark Twain House & Musuem, apprentices will explore poetry and creative non-fiction, while considering the most important connections in their lives. Working with a Master Teaching Artist and museum staff, and through study in The Mark Twain House & Museum, apprentices will compose and perform creative writing pieces exploring to whom and to what they feel most connected. They will produce three main projects: an individual creative writing portfolio of six pieces, one group slam poem, and a virtual museum exhibition designed with their peers.
The 2021 Neighborhood Studios Application period runs from March 8-April 16. Applications are submitted through Google Forms and the 2021 application can be found HERE: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfabKIjI5yfW00qFTLe5-pMs1DZN7l6pKdM0FmRpW8fpUIVnA/viewform
