Participate In Our Programs
We're always on the lookout for teens to feature in our projects. Let us know if you or someone you know would be a good fit! Please note that unless otherwise stated, all opportunities are for teens (ages 13-19) of color only.
Refocus/Social Media Feature
Have your artistic journey and artwork featured on our web-series/social media and blog! We're interested in teen artists of color who are passionate about art and have inspiring stories to tell. Interviewees, depending on whether they are selected for a web-series or social media feature, as well as any associated arts organizations, may receive publicity on our YouTube, blog, and social media channels.

Mentorship Opportunity
We're excited to announce our collaboration with Seattle's TeenTix, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing barriers to youth arts access, to present our mentorship and performance opportunity as part of the 2020 Teeny Awards. Teen artists of color can participate in a Mentorship Program to have the opportunity to workshop or create a new work with the guidance of a professional artist/mentor of color. Teens will work within a cohort of peers and receive individual feedback and guidance from their mentors over a five week period. Their artwork will then be showcased at the Teeny Awards on November 21st and 22nd. This is a great way for teens to better their craft, build connections in the arts community, and present their art!

This project was supported, in part, by a grant from 4Culture.
Micro-Issue
We are excited to partner with Siblíní Journal, an international magazine dedicated to supporting youth voices and creatives. Together, we are launching a new micro-issue featuring the work of artists and writers of color. If you are interested in submitting work - such as film, visual art, or writing - for possible publication, we look forward to hearing from you!
Submissions are now closed. Stay tuned for more details on where you can see the final issue!
