Many WHHS students have noticed the murals increasing around the city. There are over 140 murals in and around Cincinnati. A lot of hard work goes into making these masterpieces and the organization is currently looking for help.
ArtWorks Cincinnati is accepting applications for their summer apprenticeship program. To apply, you must be at least fourteen years of age.

Interviews will be conducted the weekend of March 2 and 3 at the 21C Museum Hotel. Interviews are thirty minutes long and will be scheduled between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Walk-ins will be accepted from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on a first come, first serve basis.

AP Art students are being urged to apply, but the apprenticeship is a great opportunity for anyone interested in art. Not only will apprentices be practicing their craft while getting paid for an interesting summer job, they will be able to meet, network and connect with other local artists. For students interested in pursuing a degree in the design or art field, the apprenticeship is a valuable experience to have for a resume or application.
