Summer Jam 2023

Our second annual Summer Jam was a complete success! Over fifty students from local schools, such as Sweetwater High School, National Middle School, and Granger Junior High School, participated in creative, art-making workshops lead by our Community ARTS Teaching Artists: Christopher Lloyed Tucker, Sheena Rae Dowling, and Claudia “Sew Loka” Rodriguez-Biezunski.

Summer Jam is a great way for young people to learn about the different programs and opportunities ARTS has in store for them. This year, we also had the pleasure of welcoming Groundfloor Murals as our keynote speakers. The inspiring duo relayed an inspirational message that centered on holding space and time to pursue your passions and the importance of practicing your art.

In addition to joining us for lunch and engaging with our community partners (shoutout to Our Safe Place), participants had the opportunity to start their registration and join the upcoming Fall session of the Community ARTS program!
