Lakewood Arts (LAC) “Adopt-a-School” for march, 2025: Jefferson Jr Sr High School Career Fair
In March, Lakewood Arts participated in a Career Fair for students from several schools located in Jefferson County. Volunteer artists Rolina Carter, Dorothy Lessem and Katie Trapp met with over 70 students in grades 6 to 12 to talk to them about future career opportunities in the various artistic fields, and there are so many positions requiring the creativity used in making art! We also had an interactive “Creative Careers” handout and buttons that the students could create and design for themselves. Thank you to the artists who volunteer to represent LAC at this event!
We’re looking for a schools to “adopt” for the coming year. Please refer any school you know of that needs assistance. In addition to providing space for teachers to exhibit student artwork, we may also assist with art supplies, special events, or may be able to assist your class with a “guest artist teacher.” If you are a teacher interested in participating in our “Adopt-a-School” program, please contact us at lakewoodarts.president@gmail.
Lakewood Arts (LAC) “Adopt-a-School” for February, 2025: college view high school/cec early learning academy
In February, Lakewood Arts adopted two schools in Denver. Both projects were brought to us by co-op artist Katie Trapp. At the Early Learning Academy, the 3-4 year old students created a “fish in the water” project, which is on display at the gallery in February.
At College View High School, Katie will be creating a Shadow Box art project with the students. Their creations will include painting with acrylic, collage, and adding some assemblages in the shadow boxes. Lakewood Arts provided the shadow boxes that the students will be using for this project. We hope to exhibit the finished project at the gallery later this year.
