About: Arts in Reach, an Arts Community Centre based in Portsmouth, is an ideal place for creative and artistic children. Orientated towards inclusivity, Arts in Reach goes out of its way to ensure that young teens and children get the opportunity to investigate and explore their talents through visual and performing arts.
It’s committed to providing access to high-quality teaching no matter the camper’s background, as its camp programs remain free, and transportation is included. They offer a safe space for students to express themselves freely. Through hands-on activities with teamwork involved, they can grow their self-confidence, problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills.
Programs are broken up by age range with the ArtVentures for 11-13. Your children can exepct a supportive instructor that teaches them about different art forms. The AirArtists program is for 14-18. Your teenagers will further develop their skills in visual, performing, and literary arts. Advance on Air is for older children and young adults 16-22. Expect to go on field trips and workshops as well as help mentor the new younger generation of artists.
No experience is needed for any of those 3 programs above. These artistic opportunities vary from 1-2 month-long after-school classes to programs during the summer. Kids can expect mentorship from artists, fun field trips out in the town, and community service. Its proven track record speaks for itself, as most children that attend their camps end up graduating high school and attending college. This helps show the wonderful effects the supportive programs from Arts In Reach have on it’s participants.
