The COMPAS ArtsWork Program employs youths ages 14-21 to work as artists during the
summer. Mentors and sponsors provide project ideas and guidance to the artists. Six
apprentice artists from the COMPAS ArtsWork Program worked with photographer and
educator Walter Griffin for six weeks during the summer of 2005. Their photographs and
the photographs of their mentor are included in this collection and were featured in an
exhibit at the Minnesota History Center from July 28-August 18, 2005.
