Frameworks is a free, creative space for high school students to explore art through hands-on workshops, gallery exploration, studio time, and mentorship with college students. Combining in person sessions at the Verostko Center for the Arts with virtual meetups in between, participants dive into identity, current issues, and inventive artmaking across diverse media. No experience? No problem - just bring your curiosity, eagerness to collaborate, and willingness to step outside your comfort zone. Each session begins at the Verostko Center and transitions to the Makerspace for an art-making session, culminating in a teen-led public exhibition at the end of the program.

All Sessions are 3:00pm - 4:30pm held in the Verostko Center, located in The Dale P. Latimer Library on Saint Vincent College Campus.
