Emerging Teens Program

This program is for students aged 12–15 with a passion for art, a curiosity for learning in a museum environment, and a craving for new experiences with artists and peers. Mentored by an SBMA Teaching Artist participants dive into the themes of a current exhibition and/or a featured artist during a session of six weekly classes. Inspired by these themes, the group creates art in a variety of mediums, showcases their resulting artwork, and leads activities connected to their discoveries at a culminating event.

This 2022-2023 academic year, the Museum will host a Winter Session from January 19 – February 9, 2023. Classes will take place at 4 – 6 pm on Thursdays at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. There is a ten-student capacity and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants must be able to commit to all six classes and culminating event dates within each session. Applications for Winter Session will open at the end of Fall.
