The Studio Project is BMoCA’s answer to teen purposeful engagement! This program is targeted to serve a diverse group of high school students age 14 – 18 with events focused on dialogue about art, art making, and social issues as they affect young people. The Studio Project is a three-fold program that includes Happenings (art evening events), a school calendar yearlong teen Art Advisory Internship program comprised of students from diverse high schools and an at-risk out reach effort.

Youth Art Advisory Internship (The Studio Project)
Ten-Fifteen positions, available September 2011-May 2012
The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) is currently accepting applications for its Youth Art Advisory Internship Program, a yearlong commitment open to students currently enrolled in a Boulder County high school. Youth Art Advisory Interns work closely on the development of programming and events for The Studio Project, BMoCA’s teen program. In addition, Youth Art Advisory Interns lead educational tours of the museum’s exhibits as a part of the Docent Program. Youth Art Advisory Interns meet and assist exhibiting artists, visit other museums and galleries and collaborate with teen organizations throughout Boulder and Denver.
This internship is an excellent opportunity for students interested in collaborative program development and arts outreach, as well as behind-the-scenes museum experience. The program requires students to discuss interests and issues that concern teens today. Interns will meet with the museum’s Education Director and other Youth Art Advisory Interns on Wednesday afternoons from 4-5:30pm during the school year, beginning September 2011. Accepted applicants must commit to the entire school year. Interns must have a sincere interest in art, helping the community, and learning about the museum world. They must also be energetic, creative, and work well in collaboration with other teens and adults.
Time commitment: 1 1/2-5 hours a week. Some weeks will only consist of one meeting, while others will consist of both a meeting and a Happening. Interns must commit to the entirety of the program. This internship is unpaid and qualifies for high school community service hours.
