4-H Arts Leadership Lab
November 30, 2001

Last November, the annual 4-H Arts Leadership Lab took place at Camp Upham Woods in the Wisconsin Dells.

The Arts Leadership Lab is open to Wisconsin adults and youth leaders in high school who are interested in leading activities in their clubs and organizations.

Wisconsin's Poet Laureate Ellen Kort read her poetry and led a poetry workshop.

As part of the Poetic License project, students from Shabazz and Memorial High Schools in Madison presented their original spoken word poetry to the group. Broken into various workshops, participants transformed the poems into visual art, music, photography, and theatre.
