Everson Teen Arts Council
The Everson Teen Arts Council is a unique opportunity for teens from Syracuse and surrounding areas to create and learn with the Everson Museum, gain valuable experience to add to their resume, and explore career paths in the arts. From artist talks to art-making, to volunteer opportunities and the chance to help develop a museum program – the Everson Teen Arts Council offers robust opportunities to exercise creativity and deepen one’s understanding of museums and the arts.
The Everson Teen Arts Council is a partnership between the Everson and teens from local school districts, offering a safe platform for teens to share their voice, work with their peers, and engage with the greater community. The Everson Teen Arts Council provides dynamic leadership opportunities to create meaningful and relevant programs and exhibitions, while giving teens space to explore identity, build skills, and prepare for college and careers.
