About Teen Art Collective

MCASD invites 11th and 12th grade students from San Diego to join our teen program, Teen Art Collective (TAC). This is an opportunity for teens to meet for a year and learn about contemporary art, explore art collections, meet artists and art professionals, create art, and plan a museum exhibition.

Current cycle: October 11, 2022, through May 2023 

Weekly meetings every second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 5-7 PM (with some exceptions) at both the La Jolla and Downtown locations; MCASD will help support transportation needs.
