Urban Arts Mentoring Program
The Urban Arts Mentoring Program is City Arts' signature education program. Through this year-round initiative, talented DC public school students work side-by-side with lead artist G. Byron Peck and other professional artists to create large-scale public murals and mosaics. The students receive paid training, working on a variety of high-profile projects for neighborhoods across the District. These projects enhance the quality of life for District residents and enliven their communities.
Students
High school students are recommended for the program by their school art teachers. City Arts makes a special effort to recruit students who live in the neighborhoods where major projects are taking place. During the 2009-2010 school year, City Arts will provide paid training and mentoring for 28 students.
