Open Art Space is a relaxed, weekly drop-in program for LGBTQ+ high school students and their allies who are interested in thinking about, and making, art in a creative and welcoming environment.

Join us at MoMA on Thursday, January 2, at 4:30 p.m., to weave artworks that tell your story!

Discover how artists have used weaving to “encode” messages and memories, turning textiles into powerful narratives. Using recycled materials, create your own braided and woven pieces, embedding hidden messages or symbolic elements along the way.

Open Art Space meets every Thursday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building, located at 4 West 54 Street, near Fifth Avenue.

Metrocards, snacks, and supplies will be provided.

Email questions to [email protected] or fill out our contact form.

The Adobe Foundation is proud to support equity, learning, and creativity at MoMA.

Teen Programs are made possible by the Carroll and Milton Petrie Education Program Endowment and the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Endowment. Additional funding is provided by the Annual Education Fund.

This event is part of Open Art Space.
