The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall’s education and community engagement department has lauched “Teen Voices,” a program developed in response to the need for creative outlets for teens and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. This program is part of the Van Wezel’s Artworks Anywhere initiative, providing online arts education resources to students, families and educators since the beginning of the pandemic. It launches this Friday, May 14, at 12 p.m. on the Artworks Anywhere website. 

The projects that will be showcased with the program’s launch on Friday, May 14 include a podcast focusing on self-care, Please Handle with Self Care, and a video presentation of a traditional Bharatanatyam solo, a form of Indian classical dance, showing how creative outlets can impact mental health.
