Good Afternoon Educators,

 

We'd like to invite your students to an upcoming leadership workshop for high school students. The Wilson Pickett, Jr. Legacy LLC and the City of Prattville are sponsoring the Leadership in the Arts for High School Students Workshop - Prattville, on March 14, 2020 in conjunction with the 2020 Wilson Pickett Music and Arts Festival. The Wilson Pickett, Jr. Legacy LLC administrates the Wilson Pickett Book Awards and Scholarship Fund, the Wilson Pickett Music and Arts Festival as well as theatrical productions in Atlanta and surrounding areas. Based upon leadership and commitment to advancing the arts in your school, community, or in their personal work, we are asking high school administrators or teachers to recommend two students for participating in this workshop.

​

The 2020 Leadership in the Arts for High School Students Workshop will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2020 from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. Participants will engage in a day of interactive experiences in the area of arts leadership. The session includes discussions with:
