Experimental Study Program for Teens Deadline: September 28 This fall, the New Museum will again offer its semester-long after school program for young people ages fifteen to twenty. Fifteen participants will meet every Thursday, 4–6 p.m., from October 15 to December 17, excluding Thanksgiving Day. The nine-session program, in its fifth season, will offer teens the chance to learn about contemporary art, work directly with artists, and engage in critical discussions about culture. Through close work with peers and interactive workshops, participants will collaborate with artists in residence at the New Museum. This season the Experimental Study Program will explore PERSONA as a theme, considering the ways we craft our own identities and present ourselves to others, while reflecting on the roles that the media, celebrity culture, politics, theater, and art play in our ideas of self. The Museum seeks applications from people between ages fifteen and twenty that are curious about contemporary art and enthusiastic about connecting with other teens. The Experimental Study Program is free. How to Apply: Download the application HERE. Fill out the application, and respond to the prompts.
