The Youth Outreach Program is an exciting free after school printmaking program for youth between the ages of 16 and 25. The Youth Outreach Program is comprised of 24 classes over 12 weeks and is taught by professional artists. A variety of printmaking techniques including screen print, intaglio and relief printing, as well as basic colour theory and composition are explored.
Participants attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The 2023 Winter Session will begin in January 2023. The 2023 Spring Session will begin in April 2023.
Information about the program is disseminated throughout Winnipeg High Schools and community groups with a focus placed on those in underserved communities. We recognize the need to provide positive activities for youth in a safe environment and to promote the art of printmaking to a younger audience.
The Youth Outreach Program could not be made possible without the continued investment of the Graham C. Lount Family Foundation and the Province of Manitoba.
