Dear Joyce,
 
I was given your name by Marisa Luse at SCI Dorchester. I am looking to get
the word out about an opportunity for Boston-area youth who are interested
in visual art.
 
I coordinate the Pre-College Summer Studio at the School of the Museum of
Fine Arts (Museum School). The Summer Studio is a rigorous studio art
program for rising juniors and seniors (or youth who are between 16 and18
yrs old).  During the full-time 5-week program, youth explore different
media, interact with artists at all points in their careers, and build
relationships with other young artists. It is a phenomenal program for young
people who are serious about making art.
 
We have recently received funding which will provide a good number of full
residential scholarships to young artists from the Boston community, who
could not otherwise afford to attend. These scholarships will cover the cost
of tuition, as well as room and board throughout the 5-week program. I am in
the process of getting the word out to local youth and I’d appreciate your
help! The application deadline is April 2, 2008 so I am hoping to do
workshops and general outreach from now until late March. I am available to
do application-assistance-workshops and/or meet individually with youth (and
perhaps their families) to discuss the program and the application process. 
 
If you or other folks at the Dorchester Artist’s Collaborative know of any
youth who may be interested in this program, I’d be happy to be in touch
with them directly or I could send you some brochures to put out for
distribution. 
 
The Web site has lots of good program and application information HYPERLINK
"http://www.smfa.edu/precollege"www.smfa.edu/precollege. I’ve also attached
an informational letter. 
 
Thanks so much for your help.
Let’s be in touch!
~ Elena
