ARTEnriches, an out-of-school youth art component of the Pimlico Road Youth Program, is spelled with a European flourish because it?s classically taught.

“The ?ARTE? is trying to state that we?re [modeling the program] on the long history of art instruction,” said course developer and instructor Deborah Patterson, a local artist and Open Society Institute fellow who blends art instruction with spelling, vocabulary and grammar work. Patterson?s drawing, painting and art history work is part of Pimlico Road?s after-school and summer session programs for downtown youth.
