Each November since 2001,
thirty to thirty-six regional high-school students have
come to Dawson annually to take part in four-day intensive
workshops with professional artists during KIAC's Youth
Art Enrichment Program. Students with an expressed commitment
to art have the option of choosing one of three disciplines
in which to study: (course options vary from year to
year). Students receive instruction, hone their skills
through daily exercises and express their creative ideas
through their chosen art form. Following the program,
the students' artwork travels to several Yukon Communities
for exhibition.
