Around the World

"Atelier Around the World” is a community outreach visual arts program serving children ages 5 to 16 from primarily low wealth communities. Established in 1993, the youth program is designed to enhance self-esteem and promote cultural awareness through the visual arts.

The year round program has three prongs and utilizes trained artists/professionals and teachers to provide arts instruction and creative activities through: "Adopt a School-Art After School" programs, Saturday Enrichment workshops and a three week summer camp “Murals, Minds, and Communities.” The after school and Saturday art programs operate for seven months during the year in schools, YMCA community sites and in the Greensboro Cultural Center. Students are exposed to a wide range of artistic processes and techniques including paper making, mask making, collage, crafts, drawing, painting, cartooning, fabric design and construction. Sculpture and ceramics. The Summer Arts camp culminates in an exhibition showcasing their work.
