AK Teens
Presented by 
The new AK Teens program, presented by First Niagara, is a dynamic mentoring program serving teens from across Western New York and Southern Ontario. Designed to mentor young adults seeking to pursue careers in creativity and the arts, AK Teens will provide a platform for young artists to exhibit their work, and to prepare portfolios, which are vital for admission to college arts programs. The program offers workshops and mentoring on subjects ranging from making art to working in the arts, and even public speaking.
AK Teens builds on the success of the museum’s Future Curators program, in which high school students in grades eleven and twelve work alongside Gallery staff members to plan, organize, and install an art exhibition. The expanded AK Teens program will feature a number of new initiatives, including portfolio review sessions; a museum and studio workshop series; and “Speak Out,” a public speaking course taught around works in the Gallery’s Collection.
