Dear families, partners and supporters,

Given the unsettling economic times we are all experiencing, we are unable to accept applications for the August 2009 Center for Creative Youth at Cape Verde/ CulturArte program from students and faculty. The team is working to streamline the program for this coming summer.

We are confident that this shift for one year will give us time to work on securing funding and improving the program, guaranteeing its continuation and making Center for Creative Youth at Cape Verde/CulturArte 2010 even better!

Thank you for your interest and support of this very special program.

We will keep you updated.

Kim Stroud
Administrator of the Center for Creative Youth at Cape Verde/CulturArte
