The Art Institute of Chicago offers a variety of programs for teen audiences. Some earn academic course credit through Chicago Public Schools. Others meet after school and on weekends. Studio programs focus on projects inspired by the museum's collection. All are designed to connect teens who have an interest in art with the museum, with working artists, and with museum professionals. Get involved with the Art Institute by participating in one of these programs, enrolling in a summer course for high-schoolers at the School of the Art Institute, becoming a member, getting an internship, or dropping in for a free program.
