Continuing a partnership with Park Avenue Armory that has grown every year since its inception in 2010, six current WHSAD juniors and seniors have just been hired for the Fall 2013 cohort of the Armory's growing Youth Corps program. Every summer and semester since 2010, WHSAD students have worked at the Armory, developing educational programming around the Armory's artistic programs, researching the Armory's historic building, and serving as Armory staff during concerts, art exhibitions, and other events. Since the beginning of the partnership, over 40 WHSAD students have worked at the Armory, during the school year and summer. This fall's newest Interns are: Corbin Everett Colin Grant Virgin Guzman Oscar Montenegro Prince … [Read more...]
