Green Street Arts Center of Wesleyan University is a three-story arts and education center located in the heart of Middletown's North End. Green Street offers an eclectic mix of events, exhibitions, classes and workshops to a diverse population, serving local individuals and families, as well as people from more than 25 surrounding towns. Green Street's state-of-the-art facility includes a sound recording studio, black-box theater, computer and media labs, and dance and art studios. Our high-quality After School Program is the heart of Green Street's programming, providing youth with arts education, homework assistance, mentoring, and nutritious snacks, all in the context of a safe and creative environment. Every child has a creative spark. Our job at Green Street is to ignite that spark, by helping our students identify and nurture their talents. Our after school curriculum includes courses in Sound Recording, Songwriting, Music, Videography, Art and Science, Photojournalism, Playwriting and Performance, Choreography, Salsa, Breakdancing, Tap, and Visual Arts. Green Street gives young people the chance to explore their creativity, increase their self-esteem, cultivate their appreciation of the arts, and develop practical skills for everyday life. The Green Street After School Program is designed to provide affordable, quality arts education to Middletown area residents between the ages of 7-18. We offer the only multidisciplinary arts programming in a state-of-the arts facility that is low or no-cost to qualifying families and in such close proximity to their homes. We currently have 85 youth enrolled in the program. Over half the students enrolled in our program reside in the North End, whose predominant population is Black and Latino, with high rates of poverty and youth-at-risk; our location is so convenient for them that many are able to walk home after our program. This past year, 98% of all our students received scholarship awards.
