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.

  • Receive mentorship with Museum staff and local art professionals
  • Enjoy hands-on creation 
  • Have fun at the end-of-year teen night exhibition and programming planned by teens
