Teen Festival of Arts

Due to the $10,000 grant Pfizer awarded to WATT and TCW2 we were able to put on a Teen Festival of Arts. There were over 500 different submissions of art ranging from pottery and metal design to photography and painting. 120 teen artists were accepted into the show to display their art and there were about 79 different teen performers from groups such as the Saline Fiddlers, Red Leader, T5E, Lincoln High School Dance Squad, and the Ann Arbor Poetry Slam Team! Prizes were awarded to the artists with the best art pieces in several categories. Over 800 people attended the festival and a good time was had by all. Due to its success, there will probably be another festival next year. If you attended please fill out a survey to help us evaluate this event. Evaluation
