Usdan Center For the Creative
and Performing Arts, America’s
premier summer arts day camp,
expands its artistic focus further
for 2009, offering a new course,
Fashion Design. Open to students
in grades 9-12, the program will
cover the basic components and
terminology relating to design,
drawing techniques, the historical
and cultural background of
fashion, and an introduction to
the fashion design business. Each
student will have ample opportunity
to create original designs.
The goal is to provide each student
with a fashion portfolio by
the end of the course.
Usdan Center for the Creative
and Performing Arts will host several
open houses for its 2009
summer season. Open Houses
will be held between 11 a.m. and

staff.
Usdan is open year-round

Usdan Center has introduced
the arts to more than 50,000 Tri-
State Area children since it founding
in 1968. The Center is open
to all young people from age 6 to
18. There are 40+ programs to
choose from, including music,
dance, theater, film and video,
chess, writing, nature and ecology,
and media arts. One-third of
Usdan students attend on scholarship.
Although the mission of the
Center is for every child to establish
a relationship with the arts,
the unique stimulation of the
Center has caused many to go on
to arts careers. Alumni include
singers Jane Monheit and Mariah
Carey, actresses Natalie Portman
and Lisa Gay Hamilton, and
members of major music, theater,
and dance ensembles such as the
Boston Pops and the New York
City Ballet.
