Each year, MAPL has displayed student artwork from the Monmouth County Arts High School and Middle School, but this year, in honor of our new Teen Place, we have created a larger, more prominent display of the work in our balcony area.
[From their brochure:]
The Arts High School & Middle School program is a special release-time program for gifted and talented teens. Students interested in joining the program must audition to participate. It is administered by the Arts & Education Center, which has been operating the program in Middlesex for over 30 years. The Monmouth County Arts High, which began in January 2004, holds its classes at a central location in Monmouth County.
Students selected for the program participate in courses in the literary, performing and visual arts taught by distinguished teaching artists. The courses are taught at an advanced level and provide a rigorous curriculum for developing artistic skills and creative expression in the art form of the student's choice.
Arts High & Middle School classes are held from January to May, with each student scheduled to attend one day per week for a twelve or fourteen week term. Students are responsible for making up any school work they might miss as a result of their participation in the program. Roundtrip transportation is made available from each school to the program site. In cooperation with sending schools, the program seeks, identifies, and recruits talented students.
There is an audition/portfolio review day in December. Students must pre-register.
For an application or more information, visit their website at http://www.artshigh.net/, call 732-566-2787, or e-mail info@artsandedcenter.org.
The display of over 30 pieces of art and photography will be on display in the library through the end of October. Stop by to check it out!
