Release Your Inner Artist at the Alabama Center for the Arts FREE Summer Arts Camp

The Alabama Center for the Arts (ACA) is excited to announce the return of “The Project”, which is a FREE summer arts program for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who are interested in the arts. The deadline to apply is Thursday, April 15, 2021.

Back for its second consecutive year, The Project has created a fun yet intensive two-week program that will expose high school students to the vast world of storytelling. Campers will gain in-depth, hands-on training in the world of visual and performing arts. The program will teach stop motion animation, which encompasses sculpture, puppetry, and recording Foley sound effects. In addition, participants will also learn how to create their short animated pieces, which will include drawing, painting, and film production of their content.

Faculty of both Calhoun Community College and Athens State University will oversee the camp using all aspects of Fine and Performing Arts. Students must attend the full 2-week program, which is scheduled for June 14-18 and June 21-25, 2021.

To be considered for this program, the applicant must submit the following:

  • Complete an online or paper application
  • Submit a Letter of Recommendation
  • Digitally submit samples of their work
  • Submit a 500-word essay to describe their view of the “Value of Arts in our Contemporary Society”
