Teen artists can apply for week-long stay at Isle Royale

HOUGHTON, MI (AP)--   Young artists interested in developing their talent through a wilderness experience can apply for the Teen Artist Exploration program at Isle Royale National Park. 

Two youths will be selected for 2019. Each will spend a week at the Lake Superior park next summer. They will explore their chosen art form, go hiking and canoeing or take boat tours. An artistic mentor will provide coaching.

Housing will be provided at the park's Rock Harbor Lodge.

Participants are required to donate a piece of artwork representative of their stay at Isle Royale.

Applications will be accepted from Jan. 2 through Feb. 16. More information is available on the park's website.
