BIG NEWS! The Press Corps is coming back and we’re HIRING!
We are super excited to announce that our well-loved arts criticism program, the TeenTix Press Corps IS COMING BACK!
UPDATE: Applications will be accepted for The Press Corps Manager through Dec 31, 2017.
The Press Corps promotes critical thinking, communication, and information literacy through criticism and journalism practice for teens. Since 2006, some of the city’s most talented professional arts critics from The Seattle Times, The Stranger, Seattle Globalist, Seattle Dances and more, have taught over 550 teens through workshops and intensives focused on arts criticism training, resulting in over 450 reviews of arts and culture events that live on the TeenTix Blog. In 2015, we put the Press Corps on hiatus and worked with task force of community members to address some of the program’s ongoing challenges, including lack of significant racial and socio-economic diversity amongst program participants, and staffing challenges.
