TEEN ART FORCE – Free Afterschool Art Program for Teens

The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) is kicking off the school year with its Teen Art Force Program for the 2022-23 school year. MOCA Teen Art Force is a one-of-a-kind, free, multidisciplinary art program that provides students with a foundation in the visual arts. Teen Art Force has been serving the North Miami community for over 20 years and is made possible with support from The Kirk Foundation. Every Monday through Friday after school, teenagers ages 13 through 17 are invited to tour MOCA exhibitions while experimenting with a variety of creative art and design techniques and creating their own artwork in a museum environment.

The Teen Art Force Program is taught by experienced Miami-based artist-educators who will provide age-appropriate instruction and activities that are inspired by contemporary art. The program themes focus on fashion, textile design, drawing, portfolio development, digital art, printmaking, art journalism, photography and more.

Students will also complete service projects, attend field trips to fellow art institutions, develop an art portfolio and have the opportunity to showcase their work at MOCA.

MOCA will host three sessions, Monday – Friday, 4-6 p.m.

• Session 1: October 3 – December 23, 2022

• Session 2: January 9 – March 17, 2023

• Session 3: March 27 – May 26, 2023
