2026 MAP Opening Reception

MAP pairs a small group of youth apprentices with professional, established mentor artists who specialize in diverse mediums for intensive periods of hands-on individual and collaborative studio work. MAP also exposes participants to the business-side of being a professional artist from creation to promotion, culminating with the students acting as curators of their own exhibit, installation and reception.

Join us in celebrating our talented students! The reception is July 10, 2026 from 5:00-8:00pm.

MAP is supported by the PNC Foundation.

EMILY CRANK

Hello, my name is Emily Crank and I am a student at Bradley University. I am currently working towards the goal of double majoring in Art History and History with a minor in Museum studies and Women and Gender studies. My plan is to pursue local history and Gallery exhibition work with a community focus when I graduate. I love art and working on projects that explore the history of the Peoria area, and I am very excited to be working with Arts Partners towards these goals. I look forward to serving the community and furthering the reach of Arts Partners throughout the summer.

I’m Jose! I am a Senior at Bradley University with a Game Design Major and Film Studies Minor. So obviously, I love video games and movies, but really I love all forms of media and creative art! Outside of that I love listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, my baby brother, and my girlfriend!
