arts-X-press — Residential Arts Camp | Pacific Symphony
Pacific Symphony’s arts-X-press is a transformational, residential summer arts camp where young artists and creative thinkers come together to explore the arts, build confidence, and form lasting friendships.
During this immersive program, students stay overnight and eat meals in the cafeteria at Concordia University Irvine. A team of professional staff and enthusiastic counselors live on campus, guiding students through arts workshops in state-of-the-art facilities with some of the best arts professionals, and taking them to professional performances, including behind-the-scenes experiences.
arts-X-press allows every student to explore multiple art forms, including music, singing, visual art, acting, dance, and creative writing, in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
There is room for only 100 students to attend arts-X-press each summer, making it a unique and special opportunity. Students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration is recommended.
