Gov. Wilson to Honor Summer Arts Pupils
Gov. Pete Wilson and other legislators will congratulate 15 Ventura County students tonight for being accepted into the California State Summer School for the Arts program.
The four-week program, which drew more than 1,300 applicants this year, was created in 1987 by the state Legislature to encourage junior high and high school students to pursue careers in arts or entertainment. It is held at California Institute for the Arts in Valencia.
