The Teen Reviewers and Critics Program
 Experience NYC like never before...Are you open-minded and adventurous? An arts lover? A writer, perhaps? Then you've got to check out ArtsConnection's FREE Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) Program. TRaC is an exceptional opportunity for committed high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who want to explore and experience the arts in New York City. Participants see first-hand how artists work, think and live; attend cutting-edge theater, dance and music performances; visit artists's studios, funky gallaries and contemporary art museums; master NYC's subway system; meet like-minded peers from all over NY and NJ; learn the art of discussion and critical writing; AND discover more about themselves! There are five 9-week sessions during both the fall and spring and special 2-day workshops over the summer. Each class is limited to 14 students and is taught by one of our veteran instructors (all of whom are working writers, critics, artists and art lovers).Summer 2010 TRaC WorkshopsThis summer we are offering 5 two-day workshops on a first-come, first-served basis for anyone in high school.
