In this free, engaging, multidisciplinary yearlong exploration of art history and museum studies, arts-interested teens impact the Museum and its programming by looking deeply at art, developing interpretation strategies, and gaining career skills.
ArtXpress brings together a diverse group of Milwaukee teens to create a public work of art to address issues in the community in a positive way. Over the course of three weeks, teens work with local artists to create a mural in response to community issues. The mural is then displayed for a year on a Milwaukee County bus. Artist-interns also learn about careers in the arts.
Grades 11–12 Students must apply at mam.org/teens. Free program with dinner and bus tickets provided.
