Youth Creators Guild
HWHG Youth Creators Guild is an art space for teens (ages 12-17) to amplify their voices, make a lasting impact on local arts communities, and build meaningful connections with contemporary art and artists!
Guild members will attend FREE bi-weekly meetings where they will participate in creative workshops, learn new skills, learn about current exhibitions, and create a collaborative installation for the HWHG grounds.
