In celebration, coordinator Kellie Miyazu partnered with fellow EHCC programs, Hilo UrbFarm and Piko Press, a nontoxic printmaking studio, to create a week of diverse classes to educate students in the ecology of art making.
The next classes, open to students ages 8-12, are from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 9-13 and will include projects that promote upcycling, environmental consciousness, organic gardening and sustainability.
The Youth Arts Series provides immersion experiences for young artists, Miyazu said. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of engaging and innovative art-making processes.
“We strive to enrich the artistic abilities of our students in a fun, nurturing environment that stimulates their artistic talents,” Miyazu said.
