SUMMER INSTITUTE

Find Your Voice..

SUMMER 2020 WILL NOW BE HELD VIRTUALLY

SMARTS Collaborative has been vigilantly monitoring the situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19) to ensure that the SMARTS Summer Institute is prepared for whatever steps we may need to take. The safety and well-being of our communities remains our top priority. SMARTS Summer Institute 2020 will not be held in person this year. We have been working with our summer staff for several months to create a fun Virtual Summer SMARTS multi-arts experience. We’re excited about the challenge and the possibilities.

We remain fluid in our thinking as we plan to make virtual SMARTS a social, interactive, hands-on multi-arts program.

We are asking you to think outside the box with us and join our creative process.
