The ArtWorks Summer program is an intensive six-week workforce development program for Northeast Ohio teens designed to develop students' 21st Century job skills through apprenticeships in the arts. Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders are hired to apprentice under a professional Master Teaching Artist (MTA) in an art form of their choice. Apprentices work in small groups, called co-ops, of approximately ten apprentices under the guidance of a single MTA, occasionally with the assistance of an Assistant Teaching Artist. For six hours a day, five days a week, ArtWorks MTAs guide apprentices in the creation of exciting original work in theater, dance, music, or visual arts. Master Teaching Artists mentor apprentices and teach them not only the specifics of an arts discipline, but also essential 21st Century skills that transfer to any workplace.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Apply Now – Deadline Next Week<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The deadline for Professional Artist proposals is next Tuesday, February 21 at 4PM.
