The Kids from Art Ready
Wednesday, November 10, 2010

This morning we were visited by the students of SmackMellon's Art Ready program here in Brooklyn. The mentorship program is for high school students intrested in pursing careers in the media arts. We spoke with the students about the history of creative communication, the role of technology in social change and charged them with being agents of positive change in this dynamic information revolution.

The students are visiting professionals who will serve as mentors in the upcoming weeks. After the group has visited all the mentors, each student chooses an 'Artist Mentor' to intern with from February to May. The young creatives will work 40 hours and attend their internships in pairs, Wednesday afternoons 4 to 6 pm. During the internship period, students continue to meet as a group for gallery and museum trips.

Art Ready culminates in an exhibition of work created during the program, in Smack Mellon's 6,000 square foot gallery space.
