Feedback Survey
How can giving teens free reign over a museum transform that institution’s culture? We will explore how the teens of Yollocalli Arts Reach are activating the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago through a new, younger lens. We will share our role within the museum, the teen-centric events we curate, and how we sustain our movement. Participants will leave with an understanding of how the development of a youth council within a museum can generate an increase in youth attendance and engagement.
