Museum of Modern Art
Crafted as artistic events just for young people ages 14-19, these Friday afternoons kick off with pizza before participants settle down to make art, watch films and discuss art and artists of the past 125 years. See what’s being discussed on the MoMA Teens Facebook page.
The last session in 2011 is December 16. The first in 2012 is January 6.
Films screened this winter and spring explore how artists live and work, and what inspires them. Film nights will focus on documentary and fictional narratives of artists’ lives, while art nights will range from studio workshops to discussions with artists and filmmakers.
The Museum of Modern Art was described by its first director as "a torpedo moving through time." Since opening in 1929, MoMA has secured its place as a pioneer collector and exhibitor of modern art-from 19th-century Post-Impressionism to contemporary installations. MoMA's collection includes painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, film, architecture and design.
