Young Artists Summer Program

The first Young Artist Summer Program was held at Silver Lake College in 1970. It was initially directed toward students in Catholic Schools that did not have an art specialist to develop art classes at the elementary level. By 1973, the program was expanded to include all students in public schools who were interested in creating art during the summer.

The Youth Artist Summer Program is a self-supporting program run through the SLC Art Department. Each summer a different area of art is explored. Classes are offered for the following levels of instruction 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8-9. This program is offered in three, one-week segments.  Students are given an opportunity to take classes each week or to choose one of special interest to them each week focusing on a different art area.
