Two weekends ago I participated as an artist mentor in the Massachusetts' Arts All-State held at the Worcester Art Museum. This is my third time. It is an interesting experience that every time it is so different. My mentor partner this year was David Shapleigh.

Arts All-State is a 36 hour intensive program where a pair of artist mentors work with a group of 18 juniors in high school (they don't know each other ahead of time and come from all over Massachusetts) to create a large scale installation. Each group is given a studio space and only three materials to work with (two of the materials are chosen ahead of time by the artist mentors and one material is a surprise).

Here is a great blog put together by Kristi Oliver the current chairperson of Massachusetts' Arts All-State at the Worcester Art Museum. Kristi documented each of the studios and uploaded pictures on the blog. The studio I worked with is number 202.
