Teens Show VI
Mobius, Boston
Mobius hosts the Teens Art Show VI, a visual art exhibition organized by and featuring the work of teens participating in the Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses' (FDNH) Art a la Carte program. Art a la Carte, working in partnership with the Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses (FDNH), Mobius, United South End Settlements, AAMARP (African-American Master Artists in Residence Program, Northeastern University), the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, offers free evening and weekend art programs at sites across Dorchester, in addition to field trips and exhibition opportunities.
Artist-mentors from the Boston area work with small groups of students throughout the school year offering them classes, workshops, and related experiences in the arts. Each teen in Art a la Carte can be involved in the program from an intensive to an introductory level, and as interests are cultivated, students can elect to broaden their experiences or focus their interests. Members of Mobius Artists Group collectively work with the teens to help them plan and execute this year-end show. It highlights work by many teens from Boston high schools in drawing, painting, ceramics, and mixed media. The opening reception on June 3 also includes a performance.
Art a la Carte is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), which received support from the NEA for this initiative.
