Washtenaw County Artist' Census: Raise Your Hand & Be Counted

Ann Arbor Arts Alliance is calling all artists working in Washtenaw County to complete their Artists' Census. Why? Because artists are the spark that ignites our county's creativity - but without knowing how many there are here, it's hard to give individual artists the support they deserve.

Artists of all types (visual, literary and performing, of any age and educational background) are encouraged to participate. The census is entirely confidential and includes only 10 questions. For more information, visit artscount.org.

Upcoming Class: Summer Youth Theatre Workshops

The PRTC has expanded our summer workshops for young actors! Kid Purple (ages 8-12) explores the production process from start to finish. The more advanced Teen Intensive (ages 13-17) focuses on performance. Both classes culminate in a showcase performance for family and friends. These classes fill up fast, so register your child today!
