- ART@WORK Atlanta
- Art At Work (AAW) was developed in 1995 by Fulton County Arts Council (FCAC) as a six-week summer program to provide arts education and job training for youth, ages 14 - 16, who were interested in the visual arts. Since AAW's inception, it has evolved into year-round and summer programming that has served hundreds of Fulton County youth. Teens are integrally involved in all aspects of production and marketing while learning valuable work skills. Over the course of a year, participants receive instruction from professional visual artists; social and employment skill development from professionals; are exposed to the business and entrepreneurial aspects of the arts as they exhibit their work locally; and earn an income for creating art. Program participants become Apprentice Artists; producing artwork is their job.
