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.

Hi!!! Welcome to your next installment of our first session of art-X-press 2008 Blog. When we left off all the children had headed of for a refreshing nights sleep. Since then everyone has participated in our favorite activities of delicious Mesa commons meals and arts/creative expression workshops. This afternoon we were given the opportunity to see a production of Evita at the Chance Theater in Anaheim. It was a beautiful performance of such a prolific piece. We then returned to UCI for a presentation from some of the youth orchestras finest and are about to embark on a wonderful drama workshop. Later on this evening we will get some time to prepare for our up coming talent show and of course the wonderful 3 minute showers we have all grown to love. Till next time stay tuned, same arts-X-press time, same arts-X-press channel.
