The Teen Reviewers and Critics Program

Fall Application and Flier now available!




Experience NYC like never before...

Are you open-minded and adventurous? An arts lover? A writer, perhaps? Then you've got to check out ArtsConnection's FREE Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) Program. TRaC is an exceptional opportunity for committed high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who want to explore and experience the arts in New York City. Participants see first-hand how artists work, think and live; attend cutting-edge theater, dance and music performances; visit artists's studios, funky gallaries and contemporary art museums; master NYC's subway system; meet like-minded peers from all over NY and NJ; learn the art of discussion and critical writing; AND discover more about themselves! There are five 9-week sessions during both the fall and spring and special 2-day workshops over the summer. Each class is limited to 14 students and is taught by one of our veteran instructors (all of whom are working writers, critics, artists and art lovers).


Fall 2010 Teen Reviewers and Critics
Beginning in October, we are offering FIVE TRaC classes: Theater TRaC, Dance TRaC, Music TRaC, Visual Arts TRaC and Multi TRaC. We always suggest you try a discipline you don't know. Open yourself up to new ideas. For those who can't decide, we recommend you just roll a dice and let chance decide. You can't go wrong. ***Download the TRaC application (click the link in the top right column) and check out the TRaC FAQs page for the tentative schedule and more info.*** No matter what TRaC you choose, you're guaranteed to experience the arts of NYC like never before.

The Freelancer Corps is open to anyone and everyone (13 - 18) who wants to cover the arts in NYC.
