Teen Voices Project

For Returning Students

Mondays, October 2009–May 2010, 4:00–6:30 p.m.

Become a leading voice and educator at MoMA through this new art and audience engagement project. After developing skills in creative research methods used to investigate MoMA's youth audiences, you will collaborate with a professional artist to create art to be presented at MoMA and throughout NYC. Finally, as a creative educator, you will reach out to new audiences, engage them in active participation with contemporary art, and give voice to teen perspectives on art, culture, and society.

This program meets weekly for the entire school year and is open to students who have previously participated in MoMA Teen programs. Applications are required. For more information or to apply, download the application in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).
