The third year of the annual Artist Apprenticeship Program for aspiring young artists, ages 8-12, was a great success. In this unique program, 20 students worked closely with six local professional artists who will served as their mentors during the four week series.

Students received in-depth instruction from their mentor artists, while both mentors and mentees spent time creating works to display. It was our goal that youth participants experience the entire process, from concept to critiquing, refining, and showcasing their work.

This opportunity was made possible thanks to the generosity of our lead sponsor, Kathy Moran Wealth Group | Raymond James, and supporting sponsor Brown Edwards.
