RIVERSIDE – Hip-hop poetry, Renaissance art and Afro-Brazilian music are among the workshops UC Riverside’s annual Gluck Summer Camp for the Arts will offer high school students in a free, four-week program that begins July 1.
Applications are online at www.gluckprogram.ucr.edu/summer_camp/index.html and are due by 5 p.m. Friday, May 30.
Any high school student is eligible to apply, as long as they can reach their workshop on time, although preference is given to students from the Inland Empire. “We had a student from Hawaii one year,” said Amanda Fiddyment, Gluck program coordinator who has been instrumental in organizing and running the camp for the past three years.
This year’s program will feature eight workshops on the UCR campus offered through the departments of Art, Creative Writing, Dance, History of Art, Music and Theatre, the Sweeney Art Gallery and the UCR/California Museum of Photography. Each workshop will be taught by a graduate fellow in the Gluck Program of the Arts, a program funded by the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation.
Workshops will be offered in one session – July 7 through Aug. 1 – from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Fridays. Students provide their own lunches.
