			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We believe that every young person is creative, so  our summer programs offer all participants the chance to explore their creativity, regardless of perceived talent or skill.</p>
<p>Our commitment to creative discovery means we put more emphasis on process than on result.  At the end of the program, participants are invited to share the artistic process and their creative work and ideas at an informal event for family and friends.</p>
<p>Because creative discovery means taking risks, we are devoted  to creating  the kind of caring and welcoming environment in our programs that makes every child feel safe in the exploration of creativity.</p>
