About
The Art Effect offers summer art programs that include high-level art training, mentoring, and advanced educational experiences. Participants can build workforce development skills and gain paid work experience in media arts, take part in workforce development and arts for justice programs, and engage in art and creative expression workshops that support emotional, physical, and psychological healing. Youth in the program also make high-level exhibition curation decisions and work within the community to implement two annual arts festivals in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Website development for The Art Effect is made possible, in part, through funding from the County of Dutchess and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson. Programs feature professional artists and certified teachers.
