Pour Your ART Out (PYAO) Art Apprenticeship (2018)

Pour Your ART Out (PYAO) is an intensive 6-week workshop for high school students, which takes place throughout the summer from the last week of June through the first week of August at our Kensington, Maryland studio. Participants, known as “Apprentice Artists” work on art commissions for real clients, learn and strengthen visual art techniques, and develop business and professional skills that can be used in any career.

– Create beautiful artworks for paying clients that can be added to your portfolio
– Learn skills to help prepare you for success in school and the career of your choice
