In February, the Office of Engagement Programs in Syracuse University's
Hendricks
Chapel and the Northside Collaboratory will launch smART-an after-school arts
program that will engage middle school students in a variety of artistic pursuits.
Organizers are currently searching for student mentors who can work with the
middle school students on four modules-photography and creative writing;
sculpture; material arts and printmaking; and assembly required (building things).
Students participating in each module will gather once a week for nine weeks, from
Feb. 9-April 16, from 3-5:30 p.m. at Our Northside Community Gallery, 745 N.
Salina St.
Students' work will be showcased at the Syracuse University MayFest on April 21. A
subsequent exhibition will be held at Our Northside Community Gallery from April
24-May 8.
Those interested in becoming mentors should contact Robbi Farschman, director of
the Office of Engagement Programs, at (315) 443-1254 or rfarschm@syr.edu, or
Maarten Jacobs, project coordinator of the Northside Collaboratory, at (315) 473-
0952, ext. 308, or maarten@assisicenter.org.
