Storefront Artist Project

Throughout the year Storefront Artist Project Mentor Program matches local professional artists with high school students. Students work in the studios of the artists, gain hands-on experience in painting, photography, sculpture, cartooning, printmaking, and gain understanding of what it is to be a working professional artist today. Participation in the mentorship program is made available free of charge to local students.
From January 17-February 1 the Storefront Artist Project will present art works by area high school students who participated in the 2008 Storefront Mentor Program. The exhibition features work from:
Nicholas Dixon, Lenox High School, Mentor: Lisa Vollmer
Jaime Keefner, Monument Mountain Regional High School, Mentor: Lisa Vollmer
Danae Lagoy, Wahconah Regional High School, Mentor: Derek Zeitel
Dom Newell, Pittsfield High School, Mentor: Colleen Quinn
Stephanie VanBramer, Tanonic High School, Mentor: Gabrielle Senza
Zoe Villane, Berkshire Arts and Technology, Mentor: Howard Cruse
Funded by Greylock Federal Credit Union and the Storefront’s 12×12 Benefit, the Mentor Program provides high school students the opportunity to work with professional artists and produce an original body of work.
