In 2006, Harwood became the proud parent organization for the Mayor’s Art Summer Institute. Funded by the Youth Conservation Corps, the City of Albuquerque and Escuela del Sol/Harwood, ASI is a unique summer program that hires teens to apprentice with lead artists to create public artworks. ASI offers a rare opportunity for young artists to spend their summer developing their artistic skills, work ethic and knowledge of the arts with experienced and talented mentors. Next time you're Downtown, check out "The Tree of Life," "The Garden of Transformation," "First Light," and 2009's "Dance of the Matachines," all installed on the east complex of the Albuquerque Convention Center.

If you are, or know of, a student who would be interested in applying for the Mayor’s Art Summer Institute, please call Harwood and ask to be added to the ASI database. Applications are generally available in March. Likewise, if you are a business or individual who would like more information about supporting this program, please call Harwood at 242-6367.
