The Teen Open Studio is a groundbreaking initiative that invites teenagers to delve into the world of artmaking on the third Thursday of the month. The event happens during the Neighborhood Nights – which offers free admission to TAM from 5-7 pm.
The project is a unique space for young minds to explore their creativity, connect with peers, and embrace the joy of self-expression. The schedule provides an array of hands-on artmaking activities. Every session, from painting and drawing to crafts, is a chance to discover new techniques and mediums.
This month, join Jess Rene, a Two-Spirit Indigenous Designer, in a collaborative drawing activity where teens will be able to contribute to a large piece of artwork while learning about Indigenous Design. They will also hear from the artist about their background as well as learn a little bit about Indigenous ecology, art, and architecture.
