‘What if?’ became the theme for young creative minds to explore in our out-of-school program SmArts Art Project. Hosted in partnership with RMIT University, students spent four days creating, collaborating, and discovering arts careers they might want to pursue.
“I’m a creative writer, but I like all art forms and feel expressing myself is important. These programs help develop my skills,” says Ruby-Rose.
SmArts showcases career paths in the arts so students can see what’s possible. The program helps provide the support all students need when starting to make post-school plans. After immersing herself in the program, budding artist Ruby-Rose has started thinking about one pathway in particular – attending RMIT University.
“This is my first time here at the university. It’s really impressive,” says Ruby-Rose. “The facilities and technology are unlike anything I could have imagined. And it’s given me pause to think about what might be in store in my future. I could definitely see myself here at RMIT when I’ve finished school”.
Thanks to generous donors like you, students taking part in SmArts can be inspired and mentored by professionals in the arts industry. Grace, a mentor from RMIT, encouraged students to work together on new ideas.
