An art piece, created by teens participating in Thrive Clermont’s 2018 Summer Pop Ups series was presented to the City of Clermont as a thank you gift for the city’s arts and culture grant which made the Summer PopUps possible!

Each Tuesday evening last June, Thrive Clermont offered teens a wide selection of activities including Crossfit, Yoga, Photography, Acting, Intro to Rowing, Pier Fishing. The activities were followed by food and music. The program was called Summer PopUps.
