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.

What will I do?
- Earn a paid stipend
- Learn a new visual art discipline—Mosaic tiling (or strengthen what you know)
- 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
- Earn a strong reference from AOB for future job and/or college applications
- Visit museums, galleries, artists’ studios and other places where creative people work
- Work on your resume, and add significant experience to it through your client projects
- And, make life-long friendships!
