Teen Art Lab: Free art workshops for West Philly teenagers

Next cohort starts:

June 9th

The Teen Art Lab program connects West Philadelphia middle & high school students with professional artists, designers, and makers working or exhibiting across the city and beyond.

This free, cohort-style program meets twice a week during the summer over the course of two months (June & August). The cohort will engage with several key areas: design, sound, and curation. Students will work towards one large-scale creative project driven by their own interests and guided research. Instructors serve as mentors and work with students to dig deeper into their interests while encouraging them to try, fail, play, and make freely.
