Emerging Artist Cohort
APPLICATIONS OPEN UNTIL JANUARY 31!
Program Overview
Since our inception in 2014, Paint Love’s mission has been to partner with local artists to share their medium and expertise to bring extraordinary creative experiences to young people. The Cohort program builds on our years of experience training artists in our trauma-informed model to more fully empower artists in their journey as creatives, teachers, and leaders in our community.
Our six cohort members will also focus on elevating the “extraordinary” elements of arts education - bringing the magic and wonder of a memorable and meaningful experience that will resonate with students beyond their time in the classroom.
