The Arts Council staff and board continues to mold and shape our ideas to offer an expansive arts program for youth in the tri-counties. The Young Creatives program now includes four key components that we are excited to share with you.

Young Creatives Grants: Grants of up to $1,500 were available to area arts and cultural organizations this past spring to assist underserved youth in attending arts-related programs, camps and classes during the summer. This winter, we will expand these scholarship offerings to include all related art programs throughout the full year.

Young Creatives Billboards: In March of each year, during National Youth Arts Month, we showcase our Young Creatives Billboards, a public campaign celebrating the extraordinary artistic talent of area youth. The project features the artwork of up to 10 tri-county area students on billboards placed in strategic locations throughout the region, and our message highlights the importance of arts in education.

Young Creatives Guide: If you are reading this, then you know that the guide you hold in your hands or are viewing on our website is one of the most important elements of this program. The Young Creatives Guide provides Lansing’s young creatives, their parents and their teachers with an extensive listing of classes, camps, lectures, workshops and more for anything from writing to dancing to theatre and beyond!

Artists-in-Residence Program: This part of the program creates opportunities for students and teachers to work side by side with teaching artists in selected art forms such as music, dance, theatre, and/or the visual arts where they experience the rigors of a specific discipline and its full artistic process.

As Maya Angelo wrote, “You can’t use up creativity…the more you use, the more you have.” We hope that over the course of the next year you will take advantage of all the creative, innovative and affordable art programs that are offered in our community. Turn the page to begin your artistic journey.
