Are you a teen artist who is ready to take the next steps in honing your practice? Create your game plan with Teen Academy by selecting the classes you want to take and when you want to take them!
Strengthen your portfolio, prepare for college, or just express your creative voice in an inclusive environment! By sharing your art with a vibrant community of young artists, designers, writers, and instructors, you will forge connections that will impact your future. Teens are welcome to explore their interests by taking as many Teen Academy courses as they would like. Courses are for teens 13 to 18 years old. Check out our spring and summer lineup!
During the spring and fall, courses occur every Saturday for five weeks. Each session is two hours long.
During the summer, each course has five sessions occurring Monday-Friday for one week. Morning courses are Monday-Thursday, 9:30-11:30 AM and Friday, 9:30 AM-12 PM. Afternoon courses are Monday-Thursday, 12:30-2:30 PM and Friday, 12:30-3 PM. Although it is not necessary, it is recommended that students take both the morning and afternoon courses as they complement one another.Â
Students of each week’s courses will display their work together in an exhibition at the AAC. Students will install their work on Friday and it will remain up through the following Wednesday.
