Neighborhood Studios

About Neighborhood Studios

Neighborhood Studios is an nationally recognized education program that provides students with a hands-on arts intensive learning experience. For six weeks each summer, the program links participating students with cultural institutions throughout the city, introducing both parents and students to the City of Hartford in ways they may never have experienced before. Each organization provides specific training in a different artistic discipline and field, and students work as paid apprentices in daily workshops with Master Teaching Artists. In addition to their arts training, apprentices participate in weekly career skills seminars to prepare them for the workplace and increase their literacy and numeracy proficiency.  

To be eligible to participate, students must be from one of the 34 towns and communities in our service area.
