Centrum Youth Programs

Centrum's Facebook Page

Whether you are a workshop participant, performance attendee, donor, volunteer, resident, or interested observer, we hope you will take a moment to visit our new Facebook page.

Facebook allows each of you to connect with us and extend your experience at Centrum. Upload your photos and videos. Talk about your past or upcoming workshops, review performances and readings. In large measure, 'our' page is 'your' page.

So take a look, and let us know what you think. We're exploring whether or not to create specific social networking sites for each of our major program areas. What do you think? (Now you have your first discussion topic on Facebook.)

Photos from Explorations Session 2

Congratulations to all of the young artists who completed the second session of Centrum's Explorations workshop for middle school students. 

We've posted some photos on our Flickr page, from the session's final presentation.

If you attended the workshop, we'd love for you to share your favorite photos from the week. Here's what to do:

1. Go to www.flickr.com--if you haven't joined, you'll need to (it's free).
2. Upload your photos and tag them with "centrum explorations."

That's it. We'll create an album of those, and share them here on the Youth site.

WANTED: Bloggers

When we redesigned this site last year, we had a vision that at some point, we could invite community members to post/write for the site, sharing their passion with other members of the Centrum community.

That time is NOW!

If you are passionate about youth programs at Centrum, and would like to share your knowledge and a sense of discovery with others, we want YOU. Please contact Keven Elliff at keven at centrum dot org for more information.

Space Remaining in Explorations: Session Two

A quick update to let you know that we are still accepting applications for the second of our two Explorations middle school weeks. Our first session sold out, so this second week (March 16-21) is your last chance in 2008 to connect your middle school students with this program. For more information, visit our Explorations page, or contact Martha Worthley, at 360.385.3102 x120.

2008 Blue Heron Middle School Program

March 24-28, 2008, Centrum welcomes the entire seventh grade of Port Townsend 's Blue Heron Middle School to Fort Worden to work with movement, visual art, writing, and theater artists.

Now in its 5th year, this innovative collaboration between the Centrum, the Port Townsend School District, the Washington State Arts Commission, and the Port Townsend Consortium for the Arts provides both students and teachers a model experience in arts immersion.
