This spring, Upstream Arts, Highland Friendship Club and the St Paul Jewish Community Center are joining forces to offer Culture Club, an exciting arts program for young adults. Each week we will attend a play, performance or visit a cultural institution in the heart of St Paul's Cultural District. The next day we will meet up at the St Paul Jewish Community Center to discuss these art experiences, and participate in interactive arts activities led by Upstream Arts' teaching artists.  Join as we head to the Ordway to see a great show or the Fitzgerald to check out some ballet.  You will learn how to appreciate and enjoy many different art forms while getting out into the community and socializing with peers.

NOTE: There will be no class on May 30th and 31st.

Culture Club is funded in part by a City of St Paul Cultural STAR grant, CVS Caremark grant, and in-kind support from Upstream Arts, the Jewish Community Center of St Paul and the Highland Friendship Club.

To register email Amy Stedman at astedman@highlandfriendshipclub.org.  Registration deadline is April 2nd.

“Small things like an inviting posture or a subtle smile can often be the difference between success and failure in a social environment.  By working on the foundations of expression, Upstream Arts gives participants the power to communicate independently.”
