Urban Arts Mentoring Program
Our year-round Urban Arts Mentoring Program provides in-depth experience in the art of mural making, mosaics and public art for 12 DC public school students from low-income neighborhoods. The student apprentices work directly with lead artist G. Byron Peck and other highly skilled artists to learn all aspects of working within a professional artist studio. They work on several high-profile public art commissions, and primarily on projects in underserved areas of the District.
Students
Students are recommended for the program by their art teachers. City Arts also makes a special effort to recruit students who live in the neighborhoods where our projects are in progress.
