Teen Arts Collective (TAC)

MCASB Teen Arts Collective (TAC) is a hands-on program that makes the contemporary art world accessible for Santa Barbara students ages 15-18. Over the course of the program, TAC members develop visual literacy skills, strengthen leadership abilities, and begin cultivating their own creative networks through exposure to practicing artists and arts institutions in the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles areas.

This will be accomplished through:

  • Meeting with locally and internationally acclaimed leaders in the arts
  • Field trips to local galleries, artists’ studios, and distinguished regional arts institutions
  • Workshops and discussions in weekly, after-school meetings
  • Planning and curating a culminating exhibition of TAC participants’ artwork

For more information about TAC please email Sarah Klein at sklein@mcasantabarbara.org.
