Workshops such as Installation, Arts in the City, and Performance Art give teens a chance to create artwork and performances outdoors, exploring overlooked or neglected urban spaces and creating public art that will be seen by hundreds of people. Other classes like Mixed Media Sculpture and JazzMosis offer a chance for teens to explore their own creative visions, work with unusual materials, and try something you won’t find anywhere else. For all classes, beginners and more advanced students are encouraged to apply for a chance to work with professional artists, meet other teens from all over the city, create artwork for a major public exhibition, and have fun!
