Centrum Youth Programs

Registration Open for Youth Programs

Wanted: young artists ready for challenge and inspiration.

We're pleased to announce that we are now taking registrations for our 2008 Young Artists Project workshops.

Living and working with the Core Artist Faculty, hand-selected from among the region’s most vital, contemporary artists, young artists can engage with their passions in a way not possible in the daily school routine.

First up in January is a Visual Arts Master Class with Jeffry Mitchell and Amy Johnson. Following that in February is a Dance and Video Master Class with Zoe Scofield and Juniper Shuey. Each of these high school sessions is limited to just 15 students.

...and that's just the beginning. We'll also host workshops and intensives for elementary, middle school, and high-school students through the end of June, 2008, when our intergenerational workshops begin.

We hope you can join us here at Centrum in 2008. If you know of young artists who are looking for an unmatched experience, please send them our way.

Updates on Youth Programs

As the summer draws to a close, we are just about ready to begin taking registrations for our 2008 workshops. A quick glance around the site will tell you that things are changing. Here's a recap:

1. We've deepened our commitment to young artists, and the faculty that serves them.
2. We've renamed this new focus "The Young Artists Project."
3. On the top right-hand side of the site, you'll find links to the key information about the Project.
4. We've renamed our middle school offering. It was called "Whatever." It's now called "Arts Exploration." We feel that's a more descriptive name for what actually happens here during those weeks.

Final details are being worked out for our 2008 workshops. Subscribe to this website; we'll post full details and begin registration by mid-September. Plus, we'll have frequently updated information on our Core Faculty as well as students!

Sharing photos

Sometimes it helps to read the manual!

It looks like Flickr--the website that we are using to share photos--has a 10-day review period when you set up a photo-sharing group. Therefore, it looks like anyone wanting to upload photos will have to wait until next week to do that. I'll make sure to let everyone know. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, you can see a selection of the photos I took here.

The photos from Oasis school are here.

Upload your Waterworld photos and videos.

On the lower right of the site, you will see a random selection of photos from the 2007 Waterworld program. By clicking on one of them, you'll be able to see that photo, and all of the other photos that we've loaded onto www.flickr.com. Flickr is a popular photo sharing website that makes it easy to upload and share photos.

We created a special "photo pool" for Waterworld. To join the pool and upload your own photos from this year, go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrumwaterworld/ and start posting!

If you shot video during the week, we hope you'll share that too. We've created a similar sort of group on Youtube where you can upload your Waterworld videos. Go to http://www.youtube.com/group/centrumwaterworld, post your videos, and we'll be sure to let the other participants know!
