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. Recognized in 2011 as a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award Finalist by the President's Committee on the Art and Humanities and its cultural partners, the TRaC program is an exceptional opportunity for committed high school students who want to explore and fully immerse themselves in the arts of 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 six 10-week sessions during both the fall and spring and special 2-day workshops over the summer. Each class is limited to 12 students and is taught by one of our veteran instructors (all of whom are working writers, critics, artists and art lovers).Spring 2012 Teen Reviewers and Critics
