AMSTEENS Workshops
Join us for two workshops in July led by professional artists! High-school-aged artists have the opportunity to learn from creatives who have showcased their work in the Art Museum of South Texas and around Corpus Christi.
July 9th, 9 am – 12 pm:
Mayra Zamora – Hidden Messages
Workshop participants will be invited to follow Zamora’s process in creating paintings inspired by one’s identity which contain hidden messages personal to the artist.
July 16th, 1 pm – 4 pm:
Joey Fauerso – ‘Staging Our Stories – Non-Linear Storytelling Through Painting and Collage’
Inspired by Fauerso’s ‘State of the Art: Locate’ installation ‘Devotion Story’, workshop participants will be invited to create large scale black and white collages using symbolic imagery and stories pivotal to their own lives
Teen events
Throughout the year teen-centered events will be happening at the museum including tours, exhibitions, and collaborations with high school art programs! More information will be available soon. Want to help organize and plan these events? Join the AMSTeens Council!
AMSTEENS COUNCIL
To aid in the development and execution of AMSTeens, the Art Museum of South Texas is forming a Teen Art Advisory Council. Current high-school-age students who have an interest in art, culture, community engagement, and museum work are invited to apply. Council members will work closely with museum staff, local artists, and community leaders on the AMSTeens program and will also be involved with various volunteer activities around the museum.
CREATE ART INSPIRED BY ART
Throughout the summer, Council Members will work on creating their own pieces of art inspired by/as a response to the museum’s State of the Art: Locate exhibit. The summer will end in an AMSTeens Response Exhibit and Reception showcasing the work our Council Members created over the summer!
