Overview
Once
enrolled in the Arts-2-gether program each BBBS
student-adult match will engage in a collaborative,
cumulative, and expressive visual arts-making
activity. Matches will meet after school hours,
in a pre-determined location, once a week, for
a period of six weeks.
Each
Arts-2-gether program will be taught by a
Master Level Teaching Artist, with teaching
assistance from a New to the Field Teaching
Artist.
A participating student will not only benefit
from the one-on-one interaction with their
adult-mentor, but will also have the opportunity
to socialize with other student-adult matches
in a whole-group and inclusive environment.
