About the role
Teen Summer is a four-week paid internship for high school students (age 14-19) creating a collaborative exploration of art, community, and the role of museums in our current time. Students also reflect on their personal relationships to arts and culture, which culminates into a media and art exhibition. 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.
