The Whitney Museum is now accepting applications for its fall, 2018 program, Youth Insights Artists.
The classes, which pair high school students with professional, contemporary artists, run from late September through the end of the year, with the option of meeting on either Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm.
The course focuses on collaborative work, critical discussion, creative thinking, and art-making inspired by these exchanges. Students attending ninth through twelfth grade in New York City are eligible.
The program is free, and includes all materials and art supplies.
Students are also given a free, single-ride MetroCard at the end of each class, to cover the cost of getting home.
The deadline for applications is Tuesday, September 11, by 11:59 pm. To apply online, please browse Whitney.org/Education/Teens
