WHAT DOES TEEN COUNCIL DO? During the school year, a group of high school teens work closely with Museum educators and staff and explore art through artist interviews, media projects, studio time, zine publication, and exhibition curation.
LOGISTICS • Fall Session Teen Council members will meet for two hours a session, twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 – 6:30 PM) from late October – early February. All fall sessions will be virtual. There will be a Spring Session beginning in mid-February, and participants are welcome to apply again for that session. • The Bronx Museum Teen Council is a paid internship. Participants are paid a stipend for each session. • Applicants must be between 14-19 years old and entering 9th-12th grades in the 2020-2021 school year or enrolled in a New York State High School Equivalency Diploma Program.
APPLICATION INFORMATION • You'll be asked to fill out some basic information, answer longer questions about yourself, and include an artwork sample and optional letter of recommendation. • Expect an email from us in mid October regarding next steps.
