For teens, cultural and arts organizations, and schools
Created for teens by teens, the week connects young people with citywide cultural programs and creates an ongoing collaborative network of arts organizations.
A teen-led Summit at the 92nd Street Y will take place on Wednesday, May 15 from 4-6 pm. Featuring teens and professional artists in performances and moderated discussions, the Summit will explore how artists build community and create dialogue around social and political issues. The Summit will welcome 900 teens on-site and thousands more via livestream.
Events taking place throughout the week are free and available to all teens with a valid middle school or high school ID.
All cultural and performing arts venues are welcome to participate. Events should be free and open to all teens 13+ with a middle or high school ID. Each venue determines how it will engage teens throughout the week.
The complete schedule of events at arts venues in all five boroughs will be available here in February 2019.
