Programming takes place year round at our Centene Center for Arts and Education studio in Grand Center as well as a summer program site at the Commerce Bank Science and Education Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The largest portion of the youth we serve are apprentices in ArtWorks’ Summer Program. For the past thirteen years, youth apprentices in the Summer Program have been hired through a competitive application process in which artistic talent and personal motivation are employment criteria. Past apprentices who successfully finish the summer program by showing leadership, talent, and an interest are invited to continue working in the Fall and Spring programs.
