The Creative Futures Program is a Fall and Spring program which offers teens having multiple barriers to success the opportunity to
increase their artistic skills, continue to build their job skills knowledge, and earn a paycheck while receiving extra support services
such as counseling and college application assistance. To be accepted into Creative Futures program, teens must live in households

programs, or were invited to interview day. The ArtWorks staff reviewed each youth application to assess if the applicant is eligible
based on age, completeness of the application, previous employment/volunteer experience and/or artistic experience/interests, and
letters of support from teachers or mentors. ArtWorks looked to reach a diverse group of youth to invite for interviews. With that, a
broad group of community volunteers participated in the summer and fall interview days; volunteers ranged from college and
corporate presidents, to local artists and community residents.

Summer
18
During my time at St. Louis ArtWorks I have had a great time learning and developing
skills even when facing certain obstacles. I had the opportunity to develop as an artist
by learning from two professional teaching artists the fundamental skills for painting
a mural; which was commissioned by the Deaconess Foundation for their 125th anni-
versary. My skills were also refined due to the many projects we worked on throughout
the summer. As a person I have grown artistically, as well as socially, because of my
everyday involvements with a diverse community of workers. Throughout the summer
I have enjoyed the new people I have met as well as the joyful memories I was able to
make while painting the abstract art. Throughout the program I have faced challenges
like over socializing as well as not focusing but even with those challenges I was able to
overcome them and focus on my artwork. I am proud that as a group we were able to
create large scale mural on time and the passion it took to give it my all.

7. Artistic Spotlight: Robert Ketchens
Robert A. Ketchens, born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, and
began his career with the United States Air Force. His military service laid
the groundwork for his studies in fine art in Germany, where he visited the
various art museums throughout Europe. He enrolled in the Atelier of Herr
Herzfield, a local German artist, where he learned to master the practical
aspects of easel p ainting, from canvas preparation to color mixing and
glazing. In 1985 Robert relocated to the Midwest, and in 1986, he opened a
studio in St. Louis, Missouri and began to take an active role in the local art
community. In 1990, he retired from the field of medical illustration to give
full attention to fine art. Robert constantly creates art. He teaches privately,
and participates as an arts educator in several community arts programs in
St. Louis, including the Saint Louis Art Museum, Young Audiences and St.
Louis Artworks Robert has completed several important commissions.
To date, Robert has exhibited internationally as well as in the States of
Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and the District of
Columbia. His art is in significant corporate and private collections. He has
participated in numerous solo and groups exhibitions. Robert has
continued to experiment with his color pallet, presenting strong vivid colors
from his southern roots.

Opening doors to opportunities for future generations ArtWorks has
reached a time of pivotal growth and expansion. As we move forward
in 2015 our programs are expanding to meet the needs of underserved
youth from St. Louis by relocating into a larger facility in the Loop East.
Our new flagship location will allow us the opportunity to expand ser-
vices, offer additional opportunities and provide exciting programs for
the community. This new space will enable us to provide over 100 new
apprenticeships in the next 5 years and provide new opportunities for
dozens of local artists.
