AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS

Groundswell’s afterschool programs offer structured out-of-school time for young people aged 14 to 21. Each program is led by a team of professional artists and encourages leadership and skill development through a collaborative public artmaking experience. Our afterschool programs are designed so that teens can participate in one program multiple times or move through multiple programs to more advanced work with us.
