With an emphasis on personal responsibility and self-direction, teens explore and critique the world around them, develop their own voices, and share their ideas.

ARTeens is a pay-what-you-can program. All contributions help make the program possible. The program costs $350 per session, and no one is ever turned away due to lack of funds.

Based on current Covid-19 information, this fall we will be following Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidelines. We are not requiring masks but will support anyone who chooses to wear a mask. Our studio has two HEPA air purifiers. More details will be provided to applicants and their families prior to the start of the program.

More information about the program can be found on our FOR TEENS page.

ARTeens is supported in part by a YouthReach grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which receives support from the State of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
