Teen Art Lab

The Gibson’s Teen Art Lab offers a relaxed and inclusive environment for young artists, 13 to 19 years old, to get creative and have fun together. Come experiment with a variety of art media and ideas and EAT SNACKS.

We’re currently imagining different kinds of workshops, mentorships, and hangouts – so check back regularly to see what’s scheduled. If you want to suggest ideas and be notified of newly scheduled events, please fill out the Teen Art Lab survey.
