The Purchase Youth Programs in the Arts provide a unique opportunity to spend the summer exploring the visual and performing arts under the guidance of experienced instructors and practicing artists. Grouped by age, the Youth Programs are designed to enable the exploration of a variety of artistic genres. For example, a student interested in the performing arts may choose to take Purchase Youth Theatre in session I, Young Writers in session II, and Young Filmmakers in session III. There are many possible combinations!
