Extra-curricular Programs
Teens for Teens Advisory Council
Teens for Teens gives high school students the opportunity to express
themselves through discussion and direct engagement with art and artists.
This highly selective after-school program invites participants to plan events
for their peers, contribute to the Museum web site, assist with Museum
outreach efforts, interact with artists and arts organizations while receiving
community service credit. Meetings take place January through May. Participants
also have priority in signing up for Museum Master Classes. Interview
and teacher recommendation required.

Master Classes
Offered three times a year, these classes pair students with mentor artists to
create work in a variety of media in response to the Museum’s permanent
collection or special exhibition. At the close of the Master Class, the students’
work is exhibited at the Museum during a reception for participants, friends
and families. Interview and teacher recommendation required.

Summer Mural Project
The SBMA Summer Mural project is a six-week collaboration between six
to eight students and a Master Artist to create an 8 x 24 foot mural to be
mounted on the Museum’s walls. Participants research the muralist tradition,
choose a topic, then design and create the actual work. Students commit to
working Monday through Friday during regular working hours and are paid
a small apprentice wage. Applications are distributed through art teachers in
late spring. An interview, portfolio review, and teacher recommendation are
required. For images and more details about recent mural projects log on to
www.sbma.net.

free-wheeling conversations for an alternative stream-of-consciousness
