Our Creative Career Exploration Summer Internship in New York City has come to a close and we're excited to see where our interns go from here! Over the course of four weeks, our interns expanded upon their personal artistic practice while also getting introduced to different creative career fields through industry site visits and projects.

About us
Art Start uses the creative process to nurture the voices, hearts, and minds of historically marginalized youth, offering a space for them to imagine, believe, and represent their creative vision for their lives and communities. Through consistent workshops with long-term partners, including youth organizations, schools, alternative sentencing programs, and residences for youth and families experiencing homelessness, art becomes the starting point of a larger life process, and the start of larger conversations about the future of our communities.

Thank you to everyone that was a part of this year's Art Start Portrait Project Production in Milwaukee! Over the course of our summer internship program in MKE our interns have been involved in ASPP, consisting of the conceptualization of portraits, oral history interviews, and a photoshoot production, working with program managers, professional photographers, videographers, and makeup artists, culminating in stories and portraits that ask the world to see them how they choose to be seen. This project is made possible by @milwaukeemps @milwaukeerecreation @drjart @kurtgeiger @shakeshack @baderphilanthropies @grmkefdn @neaarts @wiartsboard

We are currently recruiting for participants to be a part of this year's See Me Because project at Art Start. Check out the link in bio for more information and to apply. See Me Because is a part of the Art Start Portrait Project, a multimedia project and platform for the Art Start participants to portray the complex narratives of their identities, asking the world to see them as they choose to be seen. This iteration of the project centers youth whose lives have been affected by incarceration and the justice system. Over the course of ten weeks, we offer the space and support for self-expression and identity exploration towards a collective goal of reducing the stigma associated with justice-involvement. This project consists of weekly workshops centered around creative self-determination culminating in a multimedia project consisting of video interviews, oral history stories, and portraits. This project is made possible by a @humanitiesny Action Grant.

In partnership with Hearst, Creative Connections participants visited Hearst Tower in New York City last month. Youth were hosted by Renetta Welty, Associate Director of Talent Acquisition, who works in the HR department and talent acquisition for creative positions at Hearst. They learned about the different creative positions that were available at Hearst and heard from the Chief Visual Content Director at Hearst Visual Group, the Associate Producer for Oprah Daily, and Creative Technologists on the Product Design team across Hearst. We look forward to bringing our Milwaukee Emerging Artists to visit the space and hear from the Hearst team in the Spring! #artstart #emergingartists #industrycollaboration #careerreadiness #hearstmagazine #artsandmedia #nonprofitarts #nycarts #youthnonprofit #youtharts

Art Start Emerging Artists in our Milwaukee program traveled to their state capital last month to meet with their representatives to advocate for more arts and culture resources for the citizens of Wisconsin. Stepping into an advocacy role helped them to reflect on the role of the arts in their lives and community, and allowed them to practice agency with government representatives. As part of Create Wisconsin day, they were also able to collaborate and connect with other youth creatives from all over the state. #artstart #createwisconsin #milwaukeeartists #emergingartists #artsandculture #artseducation #artsfunding #artsadvocacy #visualarts #milwaukeearts
