Nasher Teen Council
Explore, Learn about and Create Art
The Nasher Teen Council is comprised of high school students that meet at the museum to explore, discover and discuss art in the Nasher Museum’s exhibitions and collection. Students participate in a wide range of activities including gallery conversations, art-making workshops, and meet-and greets with professionals in the arts.
The Council meets Thursday evenings throughout the academic year from 5:30–7:30 PM, with the exception of breaks and holidays.

Every meeting is like a breath of fresh air. It’s a place where I feel like all of my creativity can be expressed and accepted. I love and appreciate the respect everyone has for each other and how mature & understanding everyone is in our discussions. I can’t wait to see how the Nasher Teen Council grows even further.”
