Congratulations to our Summer 2021 Teen Arts Leaders! During this 6-week program, participants of this program co-led arts classes and activities for groups of younger youth at University and Castle Park, helped paint a public art mural, provided constructive feedback to Main IDEA regarding its youth programs, assisted with Main IDEA’s social media, and created a personal final art project. We are so proud of our teens for their growth in their leadership this past summer!
