Live Bait's outreach programming

Our Police-Teen Link Program has brought together police officers and teenagers from diverse backgrounds and used the arts to transform what is sometimes a tense relationship into a more productive and meaningful dialogue. Live Bait plans to offer PTL in partnership with the 013 Police District. Classes will be held at Commercial Park 1845 W. Rice St., in the West Town neighborhood.
