Drop in to make art with community. Create a mixed media portrait of yourself, a friend, a family member, or all of the above! Inspired by “Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson.”
Rest up after roaming in the galleries, pick up some materials for sketching, or pop in for snacks and games. Teen Lounge offers new activities each week such as tours, workshops, and artist talks curated by MFA Teens.
Teen Lounge is free for students who live in Boston through Boston Family Days. To participate, families must sign up for the program with the City. Learn more about how to participate, including how to register for the program. Not a Boston student? The teen lounge is free and accessible to all teens with a general admission ticket.
