Calling all teens! For the first time ever, New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is launching an ArtNow Teen Council composed of 1-3 high school interns who will help elevate the ArtNow program to be more widely accessible and more relevant to teenagers living across Santa Clara County. Through establishing the ArtNow Teen Council, NUMU hopes to build a stronger partnership with student artists so that they aren’t just the recipients of the ArtNow program – but the architects.

As we enter the 12th year of the ArtNow program, the Teen Council will be tasked with determining the artistic theme for ArtNow 2023 under the mentorship of NUMU’s Education Curator. The Education Curator will convene with the Teen Council to share the inner workings of NUMU, and hear their thoughts in a safe, structured space.

Those who are selected to be a part of this year’s ArtNow Teen Council will meet as a group beginning in July 2022 - September 2022, with the potential for extension into the school year. The group will meet at least 3 times all together at NUMU for 2 hour shifts, with some take-home tasks, and room for more meetings depending on the availability of participants. Teens who are selected will be financially compensated for their involvement in the Teen Council. Accepted interns will receive a confirmation email to confirm their participation after July 20, 2022.
