Youth Art Studio

Students in grades 9–12 will gather weekly to learn artistic skills to develop their personal art practices and portfolios as well as gather information regarding continued education and professions in the creative field. Professional artists, educators and other experts will lead students in studio explorations and discussions at the Museum and other off-site spaces like universities and galleries. Students will also be challenged to work as a group to curate and market the culminating art exhibition in which their own work will be showcased.
