ARTeens is a Pay-What-You-Can Afterschool Program
for teens who love making art!
NORMALLY, there are three entry/exit points for ARTeens each year:
fall, winter and spring.
We are excited to offer our Spring in-person ARTeens program in the Art Garden’s studio after school on Tuesdays or Thursdays beginning the week of April 26 and running until the week of June 9. Teens arrive as soon as they can after school (between 2:30 – 3:45pm) and the program ends at 6pm.
Online applications are available here.
Applications are due April 15
Please email csartgarden@gmail.com if you have questions
ARTeens provides an opportunity for teens to cultivate an art practice. 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 offers a sense of community while nurturing uniqueness and engagement in a diverse and non-judgmental group.
ARTeens is co-directed by artists Laura Iveson and Jane Beatrice Wegscheider.
ARTeens is a pay-what-you-can program. All contributions help make the program possible. Everyone who wants to participate is welcome regardless of ability to pay.
ARTeens is supported [in part] by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which receives support from the State of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Thank you! Thank you!
ARTeens is also supported by the generosity of local community members and businesses, and The Art Garden. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Sounds like a terrific opportunity for area teens!
My two teenagers are really loving this! They immediately felt welcome and are creating some amazing artwork. Thank you!
Any weekend programs for teens?
Hi Andrea,
Currently we have drop-in art-making on Saturdays (1pm-5pm ) for all ages. Teens are always welcome to join us! When we have special programs we generally announce them via email, Facebook, and the home page of this website. If you would like to get on our email announcement list, please email me at csartgarden@gmail.com.
Thanks, Jane Beatrice
