ArtScene 2019: Sculpting Identity

It is time for the annual teen takeover! The NCMA Teen Arts Council invites you to an evening of play, fashion, and art. Leave your everyday identity behind and sculpt a new you through wearable art, participation in "living paintings," and live performances.

Workshops

Learn new techniques and processes by participating in workshops led by professional writers, artists, and filmmakers.

Online Art Courses

Students from Asheville to Wilmington can connect with the Museum and teens across the state who share your interests. We offer online courses in Art of Fashion, Art of Game Design, and other topics through the North Carolina Virtual Public School. 

Teen Arts Council

The Teen Arts Council is an active and exciting group of local teen leaders interested in art and museums. Teens have a backstage pass to the inner workings of the Museum and collaboratively plan creative programming for their peers across the state. 

Applications are now being accepted for 2019–20. Apply now! Deadline for applications is June 15, 2019.

Teen Art Exhibition

Teens, Inspired is the North Carolina Museum of Art’s exhibition for high school students statewide that is created, juried, and curated in a collaboration between Museum staff and members of the Teen Arts Council.

Visit the exhibition and support teen artists! The exhibition Home is on view from July 2019 through January 2020 with a reception planned for Sunday, September 8. For this exhibition we invited teens to study works of art in the NCMA collection that explore key concepts and then challenged them to create their own responses to that art and the idea of “home.”
