From May 22 – July 5, The Bronx Museum will be accepting applications for its 2026 Teen Summer program via this online portal!

Led by Bronx Museum Educators, Teen Summer is a four-week arts-intensive program that pays participants to explore and contribute to New York City’s creative culture. In this particular iteration of Teen Summer, participants will curate an exhibition drawn directly from the Museum’s permanent collection. Throughout the program, participants will learn about the curatorial process while considering how museum spaces can amplify the voices of the communities they serve.

Teen Summer meets 1:00 – 5:00 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from late July to mid-August 2026. Most sessions occur on-site at The Bronx Museum.
