For Summer of Art 2024, Target will sponsor one Black/African American student to attend the full 5-day program as part of their Advancing Design Diversity initiative. The Summer of Art Target scholarship covers both academic tuition, housing fees, and materials.
As part of their Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) work, Target's Advancing Design Diversity (ADD) program mentors, trains, and educates the next generation of BIPOC design aspiring creatives with a goal of nurturing and growing American design diversity.
