PlatteForum is proud to announce the ArtLab Interns of 2012! 15 students from 12 different schools representing the amazing diverse youth of the Denver area. ArtLab students are referred to the program by counselors, teachers, friends and other adults in their lives. To enter the program the students go through an application and interview process.

The students will spend their Spring semester working with Creative Resident Jessica Kreutter, going through Artventures and experiencing the process of autodramas.Aimee Acevedo, Abraham Lincoln High SchoolInstead of a clear day seeing snow fall makes dreams possible. Its snow flakes keeps me grounded and makes it possible to keep going. If I’m not swimming or playing tennis snow helps me dream of ways to keep reaching my goal.Sanjuana Casillas-Chaves, Manual High School I enjoy cooking and hope to study pre-med or biology at the University of Colorado at Denver.Amity DoverYou have brains in your head.

I like art, music, movies, anything really that keeps me entertained.
