Join us for virtual Open Studio for Teens workshops! Teens are invited to a free artmaking program on Zoom with Whitney educators. Each week, participants will experiment, create, and learn together with at-home art projects inspired by the Whitney’s exhibitions and collection.
Inspired by the flat geometric style of painting found in Charles Henry Alston's work, teens will be challenged to create an artwork based on a group photo using magazine cut-outs and/or colorful paper.
