Art Lab Inc., the Art School located at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, is now accepting applications for its Summer Studio Scholarship Program. The program application is available to teens, ages 13 and up, who are seriously committed to art and may be considering the pursuit of art in college, and to those adults looking for a more structured and challenging art class.
