Submission Deadline For Teen Council Exhibition
Artwork Submissions Deadline:
Monday, May 6, 2024 at 11:59PM ET
The Bronx Museum is currently accepting artwork submissions from teen artists based in any of the five boroughs of NYC for a dedicated exhibition this spring!
This year’s exhibition is specifically focused on sources of inspiration: What inspires you? Where do you look for inspiration? Whether it’s nature, your heritage, social issues that impact you, your personal connections, or even the smallest things—inspiration can come from anywhere. Your art has the power to inspire others. Share your creative interpretations of this theme with us: please submit your artwork via this form by 11:59PM ET on May 6th!
All artworks submitted will be reviewed by participants in The Bronx Museum’s Teen Council program. Teen Council is a four-month paid internship for NYC high school students focused on contemporary art and the museum space.
Artworks selected by the Teen Council will be on view at The Bronx Museum from May 22 – June 16, 2024.
Inside A Teen Council Exhibition
About Teen Council
Teen Council is a four-month paid internship for New York City high school students (ages 14-19), offered in both the fall and the spring.
Created in 2005, Teen Council offers opportunities for young people to engage deeply with contemporary art and the museum space. In this intensive after-school program, teens discuss and express ideas and create art relating to issues affecting young people today. Participants also gain experience in collaboration, communication, and curation. Teens may participate in one or both sessions each year.
Teen Council is a paid opportunity. Projects during each cohort may include:
- Meeting and interviewing contemporary artists
- Curating in-person and digital art exhibitions
- Creating work for and publishing a zine
- Collaborating with other teen groups
- Exploring The Bronx Museum’s current exhibitions and developing interpretive materials
