Warhol Youth Art Council & Teen Events
Youth Arts Council (YAC) is a yearlong leadership program that invites a small team of high school students from across Pittsburgh to go behind the scenes, collaborate with museum staff and artists, create art, and develop public programs and events for other teens. Youth Arts Council participants receive stipends, gain professional experience working in a museum, and learn new skills and techniques. Applications for the 2024-25 school year are now closed.
The Pop District & Warhol Academy Creative Fellowships
The Warhol Academy’s programming includes single and multi-day training sessions for participants to learn from practicing professionals with experience in in-demand creative and technical skills as well as experts who reinforce the soft skills needed for learners to have a strong foundation upon which to develop as professionals. We focus on empowering communities of people who are statistically underrepresented in the creative and technical industries including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women to be able to achieve their goals as job seekers, business owners, and change-makers here in the Pittsburgh region. Applications for the 2025 Warhol Academy Creative Fellowships are now open! Please visit the above link to apply. (Applications due Oct. 14th, 2024)
