Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

arts-X-press Session 1 Day 1 "THE FUN BEGINS!"




Session One has kicked off to a great start. All the students arrived at UCI safely, some more awake than others, checked in and then headed to New Games! Students got to know each other as counselors led them in icebreaker games. Students got tangled in knots, learned to count as a group, and memorized each other's names!















After students broke the ice, they prepared for tonight's concert by listening to staff member's presentation about concert etiquette. Students and staff then headed to lunch where we got to know each other by mixing it up at the tables! After lunch students found out what arts workshop they had been assigned to and headed to their classrooms.
