If our youth are also our future, then wouldn't we be wise to say that the future of art is in the hands of today’s children?

That’s a question I've recently begun to ask myself, and one that’s been ruminating in the minds of some of the greatest living artists today. We must view each opportunity to educate our youth about art as an investment in the future of art itself. That’s why Scottsdale Artists’ School and I are so passionate about teaming up and organizing this new youth painting workshop. We’re taking the responsibility of raising tomorrow’s artistic leaders seriously, and doing our part to invest in their creative capacity. By giving them the opportunity to get involved and learn from skilled professionals, we are making a way for the ‘torch’ of knowledge to be passed on to the next generation.
