Stop the Violence Workshops, Touring Show and Exhibit

This program is in response to the requests from Guidance Counselors in the St. Louis Public Schools seeking arts programming that will address rhe recent spread of violence among students in neigborhood schools. The participants in these two week long residency workshops will create visual and performing arts presentations that will instill a deeper awareness of teen violence causes and prevention. Each student will design a quilt square that expresses their experience or personal view of violence. The quilt pieces will be assembled into a quilt that will be displayed at each workshop's culminating event and at other venues.
