Interlochen will open with half its students this summer
mainInterlochen Center for the Arts has announced it aims to run Arts Camp 2021 at 50 percent of normal capacity.
“The past year has been difficult for creative young people in search of inspiration and connection,” said Trey Devey, President of Interlochen Center for the Arts. “The joy, connection, and artistic breakthroughs that are intrinsic to the Interlochen experience have never been more vital. We can’t wait to help emerging artists continue on their path to growth and self-discovery.”
“Interlochen’s 94th summer season will look different, but our vibrant multidisciplinary arts community remains unchanged,” said Camille Colatosti, Provost of Interlochen Center for the Arts. “We look forward to providing students with exceptional arts education training, a deeply enriching Camp experience, and a safe environment in which to learn and thrive. It’s going to be a great summer.”
This is very good news, and encourages the prospects of other summer festivals yet to announce their plans.
Kind of a sappy video but it brings back fond memories of summers spent up there. Hopefully they can pull it off safely.
My memories of my many years at Interlochen are definitely “sappy”, but “happy/sappy!”
