Teen Museum Studies

Each summer, CAM offers a select group of teens the opportunity to learn about museum careers and gain practical job skills through the innovative Teen Museum Studies program. Participants learn from CAM staff members in all departments—from curatorial to PR to accounting—and work together to curate and organize an exhibition from start to finish in CAM’s Education Gallery. The exhibition features the work of a local artist selected by the students that opens with a public reception in the Fall of the same year.

Please visit the Teen Museum Studies Facebook page to learn more about the program.
