Request for Proposals: Artists for ArtWorks Summer 2002
June 11, 2002 Rochester, NY - Professional artists from visual and performing arts disciplines are invited to submit proposals for the Summer ArtWorks 2002-a job based employment program for youth, ages 14 and 15 with age appropriate arts-based curriculums. The program will take place at Dr. Freddie Thomas Learning Center, 625 Scio Street, Rochester, between July 15 and August 23, 2002.
During Summer 2002, forty (40) students will be hired to work in the program. Two work groups: one performing and one visual will be selected. Each work group will have 20 apprentices.
Selected teaching artists will provide instruction and mentoring to apprentice artists who benefit from improved thinking skills, personal qualities (self-esteem responsibility, etc), interpersonal skills, and academic skills. ArtWorks is based on the premise that the arts prepare young people for the work force. The ArtWorks environment is a work place. Apprentices (the students), most of whom have little or no previous art experience, will be paid at minimum wage ($5.15/hr) to work 20 hours per week, from 12:30 pm- 4:30 pm.
