Youth Insights (YI) Artists is a free, after-school program open to NYC high school students in grades 9-12. Each semester, YI brings teens together with contemporary artists and Museum staff, providing opportunities to work collaboratively, discuss art critically, think creatively, and create art inspired by this exchange. Learn new art techniques that culminate in a final exhibition!
