YOUTH ARTS FORUM OFFERED
IN DAYTON
Culture Works will host the second statewide Youth Arts
Forum at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Dayton February 1-2. Youth Arts
Forum II is part of a larger effort to develop a community-wide youth arts
network that will provide a support system for arts and youth
organizations. The first Forum was held in May 2000.
The Forum will bring together social workers, artists, educators, juvenile
justice workers, parents, arts managers and community activists to explore
how to incorporate the arts into a wide variety of youth programs,
especially those that target underserved and at-risk populations. The
Forum will provide training for program providers and educate policy
makers about the importance of youth arts programs.
The keynote speaker is Dr. William Pollock, director of the Center for Men
and the director of continuing education, psychology, at McLean Hospital.
Youth Arts Forum II is presented by Culture Works, in partnership with The
Iddings Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council.
