Approximately 1,000 teens from throughout the county are expected to convene on the campus of the Richard Stockton College in Pomona on Friday, May 13 to participate in the annual Atlantic County Teen Arts Festival that features performances, exhibits and workshops in a variety of artistic mediums.

The Atlantic County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, the event sponsor, is seeking volunteers for morning (7:30 - 11 AM) and afternoon (10:30 AM - 2 PM) shifts to help direct participants to specific locations and assist workshop leaders and performance critiquers.

"It's a fun and rewarding day," commented Cynthia Mason-Purdie, Cultural and Heritage Affairs Administrator. "There is a wealth of talent among Atlantic County teens. They are truly amazing."
