The Teen Art Council is at the core of the MCASD teen program. TAC is composed of 12 diverse teens, representing various area high schools and accepted to the program on an application basis. This group meets with MCASD Education staff on a weekly basis from September to June (outside of school hours) and works together to plan, develop, and market a spectrum of teen programs at the Museum to reach a broader teen audience.

Applications for the Teen Art Council are accepted until May for the following fall. To find out more about the Teen Art Council, contact the Education Department at 858 454 3541 x151 or education@mcasd.org.
