During the second call for interns this Spring, we received over 70 applications from students across Santa Clara County, and onboarded 7 new interns to join 2 from our first cohort, for a total of 9 members of the Teen Council for the Spring of 2023. This group of interns will be working on some special social media projects, helping with big events like the ArtNow 2023 Award Ceremony and Celebration, and learning how to give exhibition tours! Scroll through this blog for some updates on what they’ve been up to in the last few months.

For the first time ever, New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) has launched an ArtNow Teen Council composed of 6 high school interns who are helping to 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. The dream is to establish this internship as a key feature of the ArtNow program. We received over 33 applications to the internship this summer, and we look forward to being able to offer more professional development opportunities to teens across the County in the months and years to come. This blog features our first ever 6 ArtNow Teen Council Members, representing different schools across the county, and gives a peek into what they’ve done so far, and what they are working on currently.
