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.

Claire's CE Class

It's Tuesday and we're polishing up our poems and stories for tonight's program. What great "creative expression" it is, too!

We have been participating so many fabulous arts activities. We're all dancing, playing instruments, making art, singing and acting. Yesterday we had an excursion to the amazing Pageant of the Masters and Festival of the Arts and really "got our hands dirty" in the arts. The Pacific Symphony gave us a beautiful concert and the National Choreographers Initiative really inspired our dance movements.

Here are some of the comments and feelings our campers are sharing:

"This is the best summer camp ever!"
"Arts-X-Press is a great way to express yourself in ways you didn't even know
until now."
"Arts-X-Press means everyone is a friend the minute you meet them."
"I feel that I can be myself with all the colors that I am."

Very cool! And I agree!
