| Prerequisites: | |
The art instructors of each participating school select two art students to serve as representatives to the ArtScene Council. As representatives, these students act as a liaison between the museum and their school to advertise workshops and museum events and register fellow art students to participate. Instructors are encouraged to select students who are eager, responsible and have demonstrated a desire to further their art education. The only limitation for participation is geographic proximity to the museum. Students provide their own transportation.
