MoMA Teens are taking over the galleries for a private gallery tour and art-making experience.

In this session we’ll explore the exhibition Vital Signs: Artists and the Body, with a special introduction by curatorial assistant Margarita Lizcano Hernandez. We will do some close looking and discuss how the artists in this exhibition use depictions of the body to address what it means to be an individual in society. We will end the session by making a collaborative work of art in the gallery.

This program is free and open to all high school–age participants. No previous art-making experience or registration is necessary.

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 accompanies Vital Signs: Artists and the Body.
