In our Art Buddies Summer Program our staff will lead a progressive creative program culminating in a community performance. Each child will be paired with a dedicated creative mentor volunteer to create a customized character and costume based on their likes, culture, community, and a problem that they wish to solve. The program will also feature a dance component with instructor Kendall Edstrom from the renowned Zenon Dance School. Each dance portion of the program is designed to develop confidence, explore creatively, and build movement skills in a fun and nurturing environment. All abilities and levels of experience are welcome! This will give us the opportunity to incorporate another form of art into our summer program - dance and movement, utilizing multiple learning styles.
