Dismantling Hierarchies
21Minus gives teens an opportunity to see and practice their art in a museum.
21Minus is all about making every teen artist feel great in their art-making by putting it in this space where art is seen as this really prestigious thing, and then saying that teen art is at that same level. That's all that 21Minus is. It's just bringing that to the forefront.
