This is a meaningful time to relax, create, and connect with peers and professional artists! It provides high school students (age 14+) with a chance to explore mediums and techniques, and to talk with peers and professionals about their larger plans for the future. The Pelham Art Center provides art materials and guidance, and a safe space for teens to pursue their artistic passions. Our staff will also provide guidance for new techniques, and materials, and projects. Teens have come to work on independent projects for AP portfolios, college applications, or to simply free create in the art studios of Pelham Art Center!
Please see our updated Teen Open Studio policies.
