Chapel Hill Public Arts awarded grant

Posted on January 19, 2011January 19, 2011 by Staff

Chapel Hill Public Arts, in conjunction with the Street Scene Teen Center, has been awarded a grant for the Between the Lines program.

The program will involve 20 teens who will collaborate to create a poem that will be set to music, dance and woven fabric with the help of textile artist Peg Gignoux. Students who are on the Chapel Hill Youth Council and others will participate in the residency.

The Between the Lines project aims to provide avenues of expression for local teens in order to build self-esteem and create works of art that have meaning for the youths involved. The project also hopes to raise awareness of the Teen Center and afterschool programs – such as tutoring, a music lab and leisure activities – that the center offers.

The project will begin Jan. 28. Michael Irwin, director of the Arts Academy of Chapel Hill High School; Mary Gratch of Carrboro High School; and Kane Smego of the Sacrificial Poets will identify student participants. For more information, contact Liz Carter at 968-2481 or Jeff York at 968-2750.
