Develop individual skills and talent through professional instruction in a serious learning environment
Teen Studio Intensive is for middle and high school aged teens with a strong interest in visual arts. The program provides the young artist an opportunity to develop their portfolio by committing to an academic year-long program for high school students and a semester long program for middle school students. Students are also involved in various community and service-learning opportunities throughout their time in the program.
