AK Teens
AK Teens is a dynamic group of programs for 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 programs provide a platform for young artists to exhibit their work and 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.
AK Teens includes Future Curators, studio art classes, a portfolio review day, and a career day.
