ATHENS, Ala. — The Alabama Center for the Arts (ACA) announced today that they will extend the application deadline for “The Project” Summer Arts Camp Program to Friday, April 20, by 5:00 pm CST.
They don't want students to feel pressured to get applications in before the rapidly approaching old deadline while trying to deal with the uncertainty of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, school cancellations, and other life disruptions. ACA also encourages students to stay safe and healthy during this time.
According to ACA, "The Project” Summer Arts Camp Program is a free, fun, two-week intensive summer arts camp program open to all rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students gain an in-depth look into the world of visual and performing arts through film and have the opportunity to create and produce a short film, walk the red carpet, and have it shown during the program's ‘Film Festival’ on the final day of camp.
Chris Vrenna, Calhoun Music Technology Instructor and former Nine Inch Nails drummer, says, “Students that are accepted into the program will work with Calhoun Community College and Athens State University faculty on a collaborative project using all aspects of fine and performing arts skills.”
