Created in 2005, the Bronx Museum Teen Council seeks to make contemporary art and culture accessible to urban youth and strengthen and extend the bridge between the Bronx Museum and its diverse audiences. Through the school year, a group of thirteen high school teens work closely with Museum educators and explore art through artist interviews, video production, “zine” publication, and exhibition process.
