@hillarym

“I feel like the Museum is my

second home.”

“I learned that art holds all the answers to any questions

anyone may have, you just

have to search for it.”

“I wish school was like this.”

MAM- TESTIMONIALS#MW2015 #MWteens @antenna_lab

@MMMooshme @MAM_Chelsea @hillarym

“I have been exposed to individuals who encourage me both

academically and artistically…to prioritize, express myself in

various artistic media, and learn more about myself and the

world around me.

Now,…I see (the AIC) as a haven for artistic expression and

personal development…. I hope to continue to contribute to

the museum once I graduate. There will be tears.”

@hillarym

Lessons Learned

Let the teens be the face of their work

Support don’t exploit

Be transparent about ownership and

decision making

Ask teens and follow through

Practice what you preach

Do it like it’s real...because it is

Take risks – clean up later#MW2015 #MWteens @antenna_lab
