Students work together with three of their peers and a teacher to create a fully functioning sculpture bike. Youth learn welding and proper tool use along with science, math, physics, engineering, design and art. After the program, the students can receive positive recognition for their work by exhibiting and participating in public community events with Art 120 throughout the year.

Fall Break Fashion Camp
This creative workshop is a joint collaboration between the Lotus Fashion Collective, Lo Custom Art, ArtsBuild and Art 120, the camp will be led by Creative Producer, Shanna Forrestall and Visual Artist, Laura Joyner. Participants will be guided in designing bold, message-driven fashion pieces while learning practical skills in garment transformation, painting, and wearable storytelling. “This camp is about more than fashion,” says Forrestall. “It’s about giving young people the chance to discover their voice, experiment with creativity, and make something meaningful out of materials that others might throw away. Their final runway looks become living art—expressions of individuality, purpose, and community.” Click the button below to reserve your spot in this program provided free program.
