Teens Take The Met!

As part of the worldwide celebration of International Museum Day 2016, More than 2,000 teens and 40 youth and cultural organizations from New York’s five boroughs will convene at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday, May 20, from 5 to 8 p.m., for Teens Take The Met!—an innovative teen-centered, Museum-wide evening of creativity. The evening is free for all teens (age 13 or older) with a middle- or high-school ID, and features art making, music, performance, gallery activities, films, a dance party, and more.

The schedule for the evening will include a mega-weaving activity with The Met’s Artist in Residence, Peter Hristoff; poetry- and songwriting workshops with the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development; live performances; digital music-making; drama and dance workshops; and much more.
