Creating arts events to appeal to youth

This is an event in Rochester, MN.

Postbulletin.com: Young people plus creativity equals 'Awesome' art show - Tue, May 1, 2007: "Created by the high school intern staff at the Rochester Art Center, the event, which takes place Thursday, combines live music, performance art, a youth art exhibition and video games....

Hopes are that the 'Awesome Young People Art' event will bring in even more teens, and eventually become an annual event, he said.

The inaugural event, which is open to all ages, will feature dancing on the main floor. David Parisi, a college-age intern, will play various styles and genres, and Stulen and his brother, Jared Stulen, will play dance style mash-ups.

If the weather cooperates, there will also be live music outside on the patio.

Popular video games like 'Dance Dance Revolution' and 'Guitar Hero' will be set up in the third floor classroom where some of the interns' art will also be on display."
