Young STUDIO artists meet weekly on Mondays and Tuesdays in the OLG studio or in the field working on local art-related community service projects.  The 2011-12 STUDIO program starts the week of September 26 and concludes in May at to align with the Atlanta Public School calendar. STUDIO mentors are asked to attend once/month at a minimum and explore potential future mentor roles with teens.  CLICK HERE to APPLY to be a STUDIO mentor.
