ARTscope: TEEN COUNCIL

ARTscope: Teen Council​ is a high school internship program focusing on the visual arts as a resource for community, skill building, and creativity. In this 18-week program, Teen Council members learn about career paths in the arts from working artists, Parrish staff, and other art-adjacent institutions. Council members are responsible for engaging with each museum department, developing meaningful contributions to museum operations, and attending trips to off-site art facilities. Recognizing there are economic barriers for some teens who want to participate, all members are compensated for their time and work.

Deadline: Applications are due by Friday, October 10, 2025.
