Nasher Teens

About the Program

Are you a teen interested in museums? Looking for a supportive, inclusive space to be creative and collaborate with local artists and other teens?

Check here regularly for new program offerings for teens in the area.

Teen Meetups

Nasher Teen Meetups are free and open to ALL area teens. Explore art on view at the museum and create your own in these workshops led by local artists and Nasher staff.

Programs are free but space is limited and advanced registration is required. Registration links will be posted to this page in advance of each Meetup.

Being on the Nasher Teen Council has helped me grow, not only in my artistry but also in the way that I am able to communicate and collaborate with my peers.

The Nasher Teens meet with Teen Coordinator Jesse Huddleston (center)

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.

Bibliographic Resource

Reading Black Art: A Bibliography is an online resource that will aid in a better understanding of and engagement with work by Black artists in the Nasher Museum collection. It is a non-exhaustive bibliography on art, art history and visual culture of the African Diaspora. This curated selection presents a wide array of instructive texts and will be updated monthly. Teens who want to learn more about the arts can find exhibition catalogues, books on photography, and books on visual culture that speak to their interests.
