Teen Portfolio Development
Lead a portfolio development intensive for students in rising grades 9-12. Students will work with their instructor to hone their technical and conceptual skills in preperation for advanced art courses (AP Art) and college applications. Students will produce artwork with the intent of adding to their portfolios, or focus on refining artwork that is already a part of their portfolio.
Field Trip + Guided Tour Program (All Ages)
Artspace offers a guided tour program, with a 45 minute tour and 45 minute art activity, adaptable for ages 5+. This program does have a set curriculum that instructors would be provided with, but new ideas are welcomed so long as they fit with this timed format.
Community Outreach Events (All Ages)
Artspace seeks to engage with the community, go beyond our walls and bring the art to them! We seek teaching artists who would be interested in facilitating our make + take activities! We strive to cater our activities to particular events and the communities we serve. Interested in incorporating some of your own ideas, too? Let us know!
