Creative Teens Give Local Band an Extreme Band Makeover at Summer Studio
Back
PHOENIX, AZ (June 1, 2009) – The Art Institute of Phoenix will offer its Summer Studio workshop to help high school teens explore a career in the Arts.
This year’s theme, “An Extreme Band Makeover,” provides teens with the opportunity to collaborate with a local rock band, London Airspace, and show off their creative chops as visual or culinary artists.
Summer Studio offers something for all teenagers, no matter what their art interest. For example, students interested in graphic design will work together to redesign the rock band’s logo, concert poster, and CD cover. Students who want to explore filmmaking will be creating a music video for the band. The band will also get a deluxe design for their VIP Green Room created by students with a passion for interior design. Even prospective chefs will contribute with a backstage buffet for the band.
Dean of Academic Affairs Meryl Epstein stated, “All thirteen of The Art Institute's degree programs will be involved in the workshops, providing teens with a better understanding of future career options.”
The lucky recipients of the teens' artistic talents will be local band London Airspace, who recently earned a top spot in Cox’s Rock Band Competition. Teens interested in seeing the band in action and viewing videos of Summer Studio workshop options can log on to www.aipxstudio.com. Parents will also be part of Summer Studio when they join their teens at the end of the week to see the big reveal with a presentation of the extreme band makeover final designs.
Summer Studio will take place at The Art Institute of Phoenix at 2233 West Dunlap Avenue in Phoenix, Monday, June 22 through Friday, June 26. Tuition for the five-day workshop is $299, which includes lunch, dinner, supplies, and all planned social activities in the evening. For students desiring housing, tuition is $499.
