Are you an artist, spoken word poet, or filmmaker in high school? Are you interested in creating art exhibitions or film screenings and promoting shows? If the answer is yes, then the Cloud Foundation wants you to join the Teen Curatorial Program this year!
The Cloud Foundation's Teen Curatorial Program gives teens from metro Boston a chance to critically consider their peers' works of art, film, and performance, and to conceptualize and create exhibitions and performances. The Teen Visual Art, Spoken Word, and Film Curators work with professional artists to create exhibitions, film screenings, and spoken word performances, and to design marketing and promotional materials. The curatorial groups jointly design and coordinate the YouthFusion event series, which brings more than 200 young artists and performers and over 1,000 audience members to Cloud Place every year.
In 2007-08 the Teen Curatorial Program will run in partnership with the Massachusetts College of Art, giving teen artists access to the College's professional exhibition resources, opportunities to meet and work with undergraduate and graduate art students, and information on the college application process.
