Not Just About Us

Community Education Youth

One of the Teen Creative Agency's biggest roles is to create platforms for other young people to be heard.

We're such a close-knit family. We care about each other and we just want the best for each other. I come from a really big public high school, and to have—to feel like I'm finally a part of something bigger, was really, really important to me. But also, I think one of the best parts about the TCA is that it's not just about ourselves. It's about creating spaces for other people and creating platforms for other young people to say that they had a piece in the Museum of Contemporary Art, or to say that they contributed to a piece in the Museum of Contemporary Art, and to actively engage in contemporary art.
