The purpose of all Art-Away trips is to give students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the art world of another area, while having time and space to create their own art work in response to all they see. The trip to Baltimore-Washington is made extra special in that we stay in the home of a local artist who shares her extensive knowledge of the local art world.

Traveling with Page allows students to be artists in the world of art that can only serve to inspire them to go further, to use their talents to seek that place they can call their own. Thank you, Page!

As someone who is trying to figure out their future after high school, spending time in an art school or with people who work every day in art for their career was really interesting and helped me gain a new perspective on how art can impact me and my life.
