ArtStart expands its capacity to serve the older teen community through a participant-centered, career exploration arts program. ArtStart surveys students and artists to determine the success of each of the program components, studio arts, public art awareness and creation, internship with a teaching artist, and the business of art. 2: ArtStart artists address individual participant needs and interests, as well as foster collaboration to ensure participant success. The program evaluator and an artist interview each student weekly using the reflective protocol process to determine how to deepen each participant's engagement in the program.
