Teen Open Studio Nights
Teen Open Studio Nights are MAM's latest educational offering, and our first ongoing program for teens. On the second Thursday of each month, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, we open up our galleries and classroom facilities to young people ages 13-18. We invite dynamic, experienced young artists to provide live demos on new, exciting methods and materials: everything from stencilling to textile arts to photo transfers. Participants are also invited to take advantage of MAM's extensive material and tool collection as they create their own artwork, either independently or with friends.
Teen Open Studio Nights are not art classes: they are a place to experiment and explore your own creativity and ideas. They are a place to bounce your thoughts about art off of other young people. They are a place to develop your own aesthetic, outside of classroom instruction. And best of all, Teen Open Studio Nights are FREE!
