“We like teenagers, even though they have big backpacks and are always hungry.”

Thanks Lindsay for sharing this article!

This sounds like such a cool program- not only does it get kids involved in the museum, but it provides them with an opportunity to interact with contemporary art and artists, AND they get a stipend for their participation.  On the surface, it sounds much like an ASM program, but it seems to go in a totally different direction.  The students are serving as youth coordinators in the museum, creating events, learning situations, and interactions for other teens.

They also have their own website, where the Teen Arts Council members have their own profiles and can showcase their work.

I wanna join.
