Urban ArtWorks – Mural Apprentice Program
March 4 @ 5:00 pm - May 11 @ 7:00 pm
Free
Urban ArtWorks offers the Mural Apprentice Program; an arts-based employment training program for teens who face barriers to the arts, education, and employment. Over each eight-week session, apprentices work alongside professional teaching artists to learn basic art skills, research, design, and install public art throughout King County, WA. In addition to honing their painting skills, teens develop the interpersonal and professional skills needed to thrive in a workplace. Though many participants are referred to us from our community partners, we reserve some spaces each session for young people who come to us independently. We prioritize youth who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those who qualify for free and reduced lunch. All youth apprentices receive a stipend.
This spring, we are offering the Mural Apprentice Program (MAP) in Kirkland at Kirkland Arts Center, in the Chinatown-International District at the Urban ArtWorks’ studio, and in Burien at Highline High School.
