ArtsPlace
Arts Apprenticeship Program for Youth 14-18

ArtsPlace, RAAC's summer arts apprenticeship program, welcomes a new partnership with the Rockford Dance Company. This year the ArtsPlace dance team will be taught by Rockford Dance Company staff and housed at Riverfront Museum Park. The ArtsPlace visual arts teams including painting, sculpture, mixed media and spoken word poetry will be housed at the new Mendelssohn Hall. This is the seventeenth year of ArtsPlace. We have graduated over 1,000 youth who not only increased their artistic skills, but learned how to become a valued and responsible employee.
