Montana Teen Art Expereince
Montana Art Workshops is pleased to be able to announce the 2009 Workshop for this summer. The dates are June 29-July 3,2009. I am very excited to be able to offer a new program this year. We have exciting news for the program this year.
We will be in Eureka, Montana for the workshop. The program will also be changing in many ways. The scholarship value will be $550 this year. Starting this summer of 2009 we will be expanding to other locations in the US. This will be on a limited basis for the time being.The teen program will be expanding to additional states in 2010.
The beginning part of the week will prepare the student for solo work for later in the week. The first part of the week will cover color, form and composition. We will have sculpture as well as pastel in the first of part of the week. The student workshop will work in various areas around Eureka and will be based out of The Creative Arts Center in downtown Eureka.
This opportunity is a unique experience for the art student. The SKB Foundation has been working toward including the student artist into their program for the past 2 years. We are very pleased to bring this opportunity to art students. The SKB foundation is making this opportunity available to 15 selected students.
The cost of $150 each student will pay will help offset the $650 total cost fees. The student's fees will cover all instruction and some meals with several meals not included. The Creative Art center will serve as our base for the foundation classes and field work will take place outdoors around Eureka. Students will also be given time for a group discussion on portfolios, careers, and having a professional structure to their artwork. The students gain confidence in their work and abilities from the week long adventure.
New students applying this year will need to be recommended by a former Montana Art student, an instructor or a working artist know to Montana Art Workshops or Susan K Black Foundation. If you have a recommendation you would like to make for a new student please contact Wanda Mumm.
Two-college credit will be available again this year. Anyone attending previously will be able to apply for the credit again as the course changes names every year.
MSU Northern will be our granting Institution again this year; the credit is transferable as elective credit. The University does charge a paper and registration fee of $125 for the 2 credits.

We will have our usual 2 instructors for you to work with, Wanda Mumm and Mark Kelso for the week.
The students will be responsible for paying the balance after the SKB scholarship of $150 and will also need to arrange for transportation to the Eureka, Montana location.
Sculpture materials and pastels will be available for students as part of their tuition. Drawing and painting supplies will need to be brought to the workshop by each student. We will do our best to find a host family for each student coming from outside our area.
