We’re excited to announce that this year’s featured artists will include poet Natasha Miller, painter Darius Baber, and painter and muralist Ijania Cortez.

The Annual Teen Summit, hosted by the Teen Arts Council, provides a space for teens to learn, share ideas, network, collaborate, and create at the Detroit Institute of Arts. This year’s Summit will focus on the intersection of art and activism. During this conference-style event, teens will attend their choice of three 50-minute sessions, including artmaking workshops, lectures, artist talks, and guided gallery tours. Session options will be emailed to registrants prior to the event date. Breakfast and lunch are provided.

Teen Arts Council events are free with general admission, which is always free for residents of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties.

All Teen Arts Council events are open to teens ages 13–19. Please bring a student ID or other photo ID that shows your age.

 

The Teen Arts Council is made possible by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
