Youth Apprentice Artist Program
Sedona Arts Center (SAC) invites teens ages 15 to 18 to apply for Gallery 928 — a unique art apprenticeship program that pairs students with a master artist to create a public art mural for the Center.
Modeled after Chicago’s renowned Gallery 37 program, Gallery 928 engages aspiring artists in hands-on learning that builds both creative and professional skills. Apprentices gain experience in the public art process — from concept to completion — while developing teamwork, leadership, and presentation abilities.
Up to 12 students will be selected. Each will receive a $500 stipend from Sedona Arts Center and 3 free college credits through Yavapai College. Participants also learn practical career skills such as resume building and public speaking, preparing them for future opportunities in the arts. Applicants must submit an online application, two letters of reference, and images of recent artwork.
