ARTeens provides an opportunity for teens to cultivate an art practice in The Art Garden’s supportive, intergenerational studio. 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 a pay-what-you-can program. Families are expected to contribute. Every contribution helps make the program possible! ARTeens is supported in part by the Franklin Fund, the Valley Charitable Trust Fund and the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts. ARTeens is also supported by the generosity of local community members and businesses, and The Art Garden.
We invite friends, community members and businesses to help support ARTeens by making a contribution. You can make a donation by clicking on our DONATE button at the top right of this page or by mailing your contribution to:
The Art Garden
4 Union Street
Shelburne Falls, MA 01370
(The Art Garden is a non-profit, 501c3, and acknowledges all contributions for tax purposes.)
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
