MOCA Jacksonville Teen Art Council serves to empower local high school students by creating programming for teens, by teens. Members of Teen Art Council will meet bi-weekly in Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 to learn about the Museum, engage with different departments, such as Education, Curatorial, and Marketing, develop mission-driven projects, and plan a new annual event for teenagers. As Teen Art Council members create and implement programs, they will effectively increase the accessibility and inclusivity of the Museum. Members of the Teen Art Council will earn volunteer hours for their participation.
