Youth Resilience Live! A collaborative series and event between Ignite
The Voice and Creative Hearts, includes elements of both visual and performing arts. A 3-part competition open to youth (ages 5-19) all over the state of Connecticut. The theme of all showcases is Mental Health and /or experiences over the past 2 years, how living through a global pandemic impacted their mental health.
Youth Advisory Board Member and 2018 Express Yourself Winner Christina Cuesta explains the purpose behind Youth Resilience to our 2022 Giving Tuesday Audience!!
To Kick off our Youth Resilience Project, Ignite the Voice will begin our small group canvas art workshops on May 11th!
Painter and retired nurse, Iris Thompson will lead an 8 week course in painting. The participants who take part in her sessions will also have their final products entered into the competition.
Iris Thomson will take on 8-10 participants holding 2 workshops a week over the course of 6 weeks. These classes will take place between March and April at an art space provided by Monk Youth Jazz and STEAM Collective inc.
