Young Artists Build Meaningful Benches | Lawrence News

Twenty young artists aged fourteen to eighteen just unveiled twenty custom benches they designed and built over eight weeks—part of Van Go’s JAMS program that blends art with real-world job readiness. With near-perfect attendance and punctuality, the apprentices honed responsibility while gaining confidence through client collaboration. Each bench carries personal meaning, honoring families, local businesses, and communities. Now receiving their final finish, the benches will be displayed at Van Go before heading to permanent homes—proof that this 30-year-old program continues to turn creativity into community impact and future opportunity.
