AMSTEENS Work
We offer a variety of opportunities to interested teen artists.
Saturday Studio Time- Every Saturday the AMSTeens Coordinator provides prompts and guided instruction to AMSTeens at the Art Museum from 10:30-2:00 pm.
Workshops from professional artists- Every semester the AMST contracts professional artists and professors to provide the teens workshops on various mediums. In the past we have had: printmaking (linocut), zine, collage, photography, chemigrams, book-binding, and lumen prints.
Exhibitions at the AMST-Teens every semester have the opportunity to showcase their work in a teen-led and curated exhibition at the AMST with an accompanying reception.
Art Career and Development-Teens received career-based workshops and presentations from professional, successful local artists and have had the ability to sell their art at our Third Thursday events.
Volunteering- Teens are able to fulfill volunteering hours in collaboration with different partnered organizations.
Teen events
Throughout the year teen-centered events will be happening at the museum including tours, exhibitions, and collaborations with high school art programs!
The AMST aims to revive the Ageless Art program through intergenerational art creation, by providing a spotlight on our community’s seniors, their artwork, and their stories through the lens of community teenagers in the AMSTeens Program.
This revival will work in tandem with our newest exhibition on display Home, Love, and Loss. The works in this exhibition speak to the broad and complex dynamics of family and home, addressing identity, longing, empathy, and survival as part of the human condition.
Teens will interview senior residents at Caraday of Corpus Christi- Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living Facility to create portraits of the seniors.
AMSTEENS COUNCIL
To aid in the development and execution of AMSTeens, the Art Museum of South Texas is forming a Teen Art Advisory Council. Current high-school-age students who have an interest in art, culture, community engagement, and museum work are invited to apply. Council members will work closely with museum staff, local artists, and community leaders on the AMSTeens program and will also be involved with various volunteer activities around the museum.
CREATE ART INSPIRED BY ART
Throughout the summer, Council Members will work on creating their own pieces of art inspired by/as a response to the Museum’s various exhibitions.
