Imagine a place where budding young artists and creative thinkers come together to explore the arts, nourish their sense of self and make lasting friendships.
At arts-X-press, you’ll spend five days immersed in the arts. You’ll sleep in the dorms and eat meals in the cafeteria at Concordia University Irvine. You’ll spend your days exploring different art forms in professional arts spaces with some of the best arts professionals in the region. You’ll be challenged to express yourself creatively and collaborate with your fellow arts-X-pressers who come from all over Southern California.
Arts-X-press is a safe haven for self-expression. We create an environment that values each student’s individuality and appreciation of the magic in life. By the end of arts-X-press, our students feel more confident in themselves and leave with a renewed passion for the arts and the courage to make meaningful contributions to their communities.
