Evey Cahall, 15
Duke Ellington School of the Arts
College of choice: Parsons New School of Design, New York
Evey started as a summer camp student at CREATE Arts Center when she was only 6 years old. Before she was a student at Duke Ellington School of the Arts, she attended Beyond Creativity – an advanced art class at CREATE where she continued to develop her portfolio and artistic technique.
Over the years, along with being a camper, she has helped our teachers and staff as a Counselor in Training (CIT) and is now one of our most outstanding volunteers.
“I have always loved my time at CREATE, whether it was as a camper when I was little, or as a student in Beyond Creativity. It has really contributed to my development as an artist. I feel really close to the staff here…and its always been a fun and creative environment to be in.” ~ Evey
