Studio2000 is an arts-based youth employment program coordinated by the Louisville Metro Office of Youth Development. It is modeled after Gallery 37 in Chicago and is open to local high school students. Studio2000 draws participants from all public, parochial, & private schools within Metro Louisville.
Studio2000 provides employment for young artists who demonstrate
an interest and skill in the Visual Arts. Students from diverse backgrounds work with equally diverse professional artists. There is a public exhibit, show and sale at the end of each of the three sessions. Proceeds are returned to Studio2000 to support future programming.
Studio2000, a year-round program, offers special projects as well as work sessions, with two working studios in the downtown area.
Young people who are interested in a career in the arts have the opportunity to work with artists who are self supporting. Those who like creating with their hands have the opportunity to learn new skills while earning an income.
