Teen Programs

The MFA is a vibrant and engaging environment for teens! Get creative with studio art classes and workshops, make the MFA yours during special teen events, or go deep with the Teen Arts Council, a paid museum career and college readiness program.

Teen Arts Council

The Teen Arts Council (TAC) is the MFA’s leadership development program offering high school students the opportunity to engage with art, develop workplace skills, learn about museum careers, and plan museum events for teens. Teen Arts Council includes The Curatorial Study Hall, a project-based opportunity where students explore and dive deeper into exhibition creation, interpretation, and design.
