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.

How amazing is it to look at the very first week of arts-X-press in 2001 and know that so many people are still around as of 2009?  Can you spot these people in the 2001 photo?

Phillip Womack (2001- counselor, 2009- visual art instructor)
Eddie Oliver (2001-2009 instrumental music instructor ) with Carl and Susan St.Clair
Mollie Fry Gilmore (2001 counselor , now a PS staff member) with Jack Meza (AXPer 2002, counselor 2005-2008, Coordinator 2009)
Garret Wehrman (AXPer 2001, and as of 2009 the veteran counselor with the most experience of any counselor EVER!)

AXP Celebrates 10 years in 2010















AXP Session 1, 2001

In 2010, AXP will be ten years old!  That's right--the first ever class of arts-X-pressers joined the fun in July of 2001.
You can help us celebrate!  Please e-mail arts-X-press@pacificsymphony.org if you want to help plan the 10th Anniversary festivities, or if you know how we can contact any arts-X-press alumn who have lost touch.  Stay tuned for more information on the 10-year Reunion coming in September 2010.
