About

"Every time I walk in the building I know the TAC is going to accomplish something. Of course we get side-tracked for a moment or two, but I know we’ll remain on track. Even my friends have said they think the TAC is very diligent. They believe our Teen Nights are so much fun. And as the ICA pulls in all types of artists, the TAC focuses on the younger community - which is the ICA’s future."

Are you between the ages of 14-17? Are you interested in programming for and by other teens? If so, you should take a look at what the ICA teen programs has to offer. The Teen Arts council consists of twelve ambitious high school students who share a common interest in contemporary art and public community engagement. The council organizes Teen Nights, assists upcoming artists, and various projects though out the year. Our primary objective is to supply Boston’s youth with the tools to voice themselves in the world of contemporary art.

The Teen Arts Council meets once per week during the school year and each member is paid a stipend. We are looking for teenagers ages 14-17 interested in working with museum staff, artists and other creative young people to develop and promote exciting programs and events for teens at the ICA. You might be an artist yourself—visual artist, poet/writer, musician, dancer, filmmaker—or simply excited to become more involved in the arts and museums. Want to get involved? Email teenprograms@icaboston.org

(All Teen Arts Council positions have been filled for the 2011-2012 school year. New applications will be accepted for the 2012-2013 school year in the spring of 2012.)
