Hammond Scholarship Program & Teen Arts Board Showcase

Artist Reception: Saturday, March 22, 1–3pm

South Shore Arts is thrilled to welcome back returning members and introduce new faces to the 2025 Teen Arts Board! Open to high school students in grades 9-12 with a passion for the arts, this program offers hands-on experiences in leadership, event planning, exhibit curation, community projects, and portfolio development. Participants will also refine their artistic skills through creative projects and mentorship opportunities.

This year, the Teen Arts Board is collaborating with the Hammond Scholarship Program (HSP), an initiative funded by generous donors that provides free 8-week art classes to Hammond 4th and 5th grade students. Through this program, young artists explore various media—such as pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and clay—while developing confidence and learning in a supportive artist community. Teen Arts Board members serve as mentors, engaging in fun activities like value studies, blind contour drawings, and mirror sketches, helping younger students explore artistic techniques and materials.

Come celebrate the work accomplished by both the Teen Arts Board and the Hammond Scholarship Program at Substation No. 9 on Saturday, March 22, from 1–3pm.
