CUE Teen Collective

LEAD EDUCATOR & PROGRAM FOUNDER (2017- Present)

CUE Teen Collective (CTC) is a free, year-long after-school program for high school students who are passionate about visual culture and interested in exploring careers in the arts. Through the program, students investigate various aspects of the contemporary art world, develop and refine their creative production and critical thinking skills, and conceptualize and create artwork for a final group exhibition presented at CUE’s gallery space. CTC offers behind-the-scenes access to the New York art world, demystifying career paths in the arts while inspiring students to develop their own personal artistic voices. The CTC program begins in October and culminates in early June with a final exhibition on view at CUE gallery. 2024-25 cohort application form will be released in August on submittable.
