Workshops for Careers in the Arts was a professional training program especially designed for artistically talented teenagers which took place on the campus of The George Washington University in a joint collaboration.
These departments serviced qualified area students after their normal home school day, on weekends during the academic year, and full time during the summer months.
Students were accepted on the basis of recommendations from area Principals, Teachers, Parents, interviews, and auditions.
Workshops for Careers in the Arts students began to achieve collegiate full scholarships and receive contracts toward higher education.
As more successful Workshops for Careers in the Arts years past, which included the need for an additional space location on Georgia Avenue at Morton Street, N.W., the Washington community made this opportunity available to their young people on a much broader scale.
