Arts-Mentorship Program

The objective of The Transit Center’s free 22-week Arts-Mentorship Program for “at-risk” 16–21 year olds is to help students develop awareness in or about the community through a topic of their choice. Students may choose any topic they feel inspired by, from poverty and education, to environmental issues and more, and these social issues shall be explored, interpreted, and presented by students through a creative means of their choice.

After working towards creating awareness in the community, students will also develop an artistic portfolio and personal art project to display in The Transit Center’s gallery, which will help them further develop their artistic and professional skills, and it will be a potential starting point to what could become a career as a working artist.
