Dear friends, who may know friends who are 13 to 18 years old!An exciting art and environmental project has been on the drawing board and in the planning stages throughout the fall and winter months, and we are PLEASED to finally get the word out about this new opportunity for teens in the Grand Traverse and Leelanau County areas!
The Neahtawanta Center and Little Artshram Puppet and Mask Theater have developed an Artist Apprentice Program, where teens can apply for an apprenticeship position with the Council of All Beings-Earth Day Project 2001. Project artists, Penny Krebiehl and Hughthir White will work with teens in a mentoring relationship, offering training in mask and puppet making, dance and theater improvisation, creative writing and storytelling, stilt-walking and more! Apprentices will experience how art and environmental activism enhances and benefits the community and will re-invigorate their connection to the natural world in a fun way.
Little Artshram Puppet and Mask Theater will conduct the Artist Apprentice Program at the Leelanau School in Glen Arbor. The Project is scheduled to begin on February 22nd, with applications available now, for the 10-15 Artist Apprentice Positions. The teens who are given apprentice positons will assist in FREE INTERGENERATIONAL Workshops open to ALL AGES, in March and April, prior to our Grand Earth Day Celebration!
