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.

AXP Alumni News - Ben Paltin

You may remember him from AXP 2008 as Ben-jammin'.  AXP alumn Ben Paltin was voted the Grand Prize Winner by the audience at the recent Queen Mary's First Annual Salsa Expo.  Check out his amazing Matrix move (Ben is the one in the fedora.):

Ben also "auctioned" his performance of two songs during his recent bar mitzvah reception and is donating the auction proceeds to AXP!
