PROJECT GIRL DAYCAMP
July 14-17, 2008
(For ages 10 to 18)
Clear skin. White teeth. Red lips. Painted toenails. Flawless bodies … Is this even real? 
What are girls supposed to look like?
 
 
Come rap about it, write about it, paint about it, film about it, speak about it! At Intermedia Arts first ever summer camp featuring Project Girl, the nationally touring visual arts exhibition in response to popular media advertising and entertainment, you have a chance to make your stand and express your reactions to the world around you. Workshops in writing, poetry, digital photography, video, and visual arts are led by nationally renowned spoken work artist Desdemona and celebrated visual artist Katrina Knudson. 
In addition to the workshops, you’ll also get to see the visual, literary, digital and video artwork done by professional artists. The exhibition also includes some amazing artwork by other Project Girl young artists who were guided during each media deconstruction workshop to express their own interpretations of media messages.
 
 
So get involved, express what you wish, and sign up for Project Girl while you still can! The world is waiting to hear you…. Register today! (Space is limited. Tuition Fees and registration form attached). Call (612) 871-4444 for more info!

ABOUT INTERMEDIA ARTS
Intermedia Arts is Minnesota’s premier multicultural, multidisciplinary arts center.  We are a gathering place to share stories through visual arts, theater, dance, music, media, and literature—from folk arts to hip-hop culture. Intermedia Arts began in 1973 as a group of student media activists, University Community Video.   Over the last three decades we’ve grown, become multidisciplinary, changed our name and become internationally recognized for our innovative cultural programs.  One thing remains: our unwavering mission to use art as a tool to build understanding among people. Intermedia Arts belongs to the community it serves.  We believe whole-heartedly in creative leadership development.  Artists are leaders.  Leaders inspire.  Our programs grow organically from the issues facing our neighbors, friends and community members.  Together, we develop creative tools for addressing challenges, sharing resources, celebrating positive change and building healthy communities.
