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.

Holiday break

Happy holidays to arts-X-pressers everywhere! We'd love to hear what you're up to. But don't worry, we're not expecting a holiday newsletter. Your challenge: post a comment on this blog telling your fellow arts-X-press alumni what your year has been like, using ONLY one sentence or one picture. The arts-X-press staff offers two photos that pretty much sum up the year: super-counselor Jack Meza looking super-suave, and Pacific Symphony staffer Mollie Gilmore with Siena St.Clair in Heisler Park this summer. Happy holidays to all, and don't forget to keep in touch!
