Picture this: You're working with over a dozen creative, passionate teens. You all want to make a difference in Santa Cruz County through art. And you actually do it.
Apply for the second round of MAH Teen Program Subjects to Change. This program is geared for teenagers who want to make a difference in Santa Cruz County. We do this by raising awareness of community issues through collaborative arts and cultural experiences (think: arts for social change.) Hailed as a chronic group of doodlers who dig music, embrace creativity of all kinds, and are determined to not only make our community better, but want to get other teens involved...Subjects to Change-ers artfully redefine what it means to be a changemaker.
More information and applications can be found here. Applications are due Monday, August 18th.
