ATHENS, Ala. — The Alabama Center for the Arts (ACA) announced today that they will extend the application deadline for “The Project” Summer Arts Camp Program to Friday, April 20, by 5:00 pm CST. 

They don't want students to feel pressured to get applications in before the rapidly approaching old deadline while trying to deal with the uncertainty of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, school cancellations, and other life disruptions. ACA also encourages students to stay safe and healthy during this time.

According to ACA, "The Project” Summer Arts Camp Program is a free, fun, two-week intensive summer arts camp program open to all rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students gain an in-depth look into the world of visual and performing arts through film and have the opportunity to create and produce a short film, walk the red carpet, and have it shown during the program's ‘Film Festival’ on the final day of camp.
