I’m all about soaking up summer’s warmth and long leisurely days. To me, they are the best. However, summer is also a great time to get out and explore. It’s meant for traveling (touring a college or two), and for building up your artistic teen’s skills outside of the walls of high school. That’s why I highly recommend pre-college summer art programs.

Pre-college programs provide the chance for aspiring artists and designers to:

• Sharpen their skills,
• Enhance their portfolio,
• Explore new mediums,
• Gain a fresh perspective,
• Meet other teens with similar aspirations, and
• Get a real taste of campus life.

That’s a lot!

Residential and commuter programs take place across the country, typically lasting from one – six weeks. Consider those in your neighborhood or out-of-town for that first “living on campus” experience. You know; dorm food, roommates, etc.
