What happens when young artists are given space to lead?

The Teen Art Collective is a new initiative created and led by two young artists who wanted more than just a place to make art. They want to build community with other creative peers, share ideas, collaborate on projects, and create opportunities for young artists to be seen and celebrated. We’re honored to help bring that vision to life, with the support of Maxtivity teaching artists and mentors.

The collective is now meeting at our studio on Saturdays from 1–4pm, inviting teens age 14–18yo to work on individual and collaborative projects. And that’s just the beginning. Collective members will have multiple upcoming opportunities to show and sell their work.

Participation in the collective is free to teens and their families, and your donation will directly support their continued access to tools, supplies, space, and mentorship through Maxtivity.
