About Teen Art Collective

MCASD invites 11th 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: September 2024 through June 2025

TAC meets weekly in La Jolla every second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 5 – 7PM (with some exceptions).

Led by museum educators, TAC is an opportunity for teens to:

  • Get lessons on art history with an emphasis on contemporary art 
  • Receive mentorship with Museum staff and local art professionals
  • Enjoy hands-on creation 
  • Plan an end-of-year Teen Night exhibition
  • Develop a portfolio and documentation

Apply for FREE today.

Application deadline: Sunday, September 1
