ArtsBridge Offers Virtual Spring & Summer Arts Programs for High School Students

The pandemic is making it harder for students to navigate the college application process, but for aspiring arts students, applying to college poses another challenge: limited opportunities to train and prepare for college auditions.

ArtsBridge’s counseling and artistic training programs prepare students for the rigorous college application and audition processes. Students receive personalized guidance from renowned college faculty at leading arts institutions and admissions professionals with decades of experience in higher education, performing arts and visual arts. Their services help students understand what colleges and conservatories look for in prospective students, perfect their craft and audition approach, and stand out in the competitive landscape.

Their virtual SpringTerm and Summer programs are great online resources so students can better prepare for remote college auditions, no matter where they live. Apply by February 1^st (SpringTerm) and February 15^th (Summer) at https://app.getacceptd.com/artsbridge.
