STUDENT DOCENT PROGRAM
This program introduces students to Museum culture by providing a "behind the scenes" view of the installing of a new exhibition with all its “nuts and bolts.” Students meet with artists, curators, registrar, preparator, and installation crew to gather information on the making of an exhibition. In a group, students examine and discuss specific artworks and their relevance to contemporary culture. At the end of the program Student Docents give tours of the exhibition to groups composed of their peers.

TEEN COUNCIL
Designed to make contemporary art and culture accessible to Bronx youths, our Teen Council is structured around the production of MUSE RADIO, a show created entirely by a group of ten students working closely with instructors in the Media Lab. The program is available on the Teen Council website and iTunes as a podcast. In addition, the Teen Council participates in the Museum’s ongoing series of interviews with contemporary artists. This ten-month program provides teens with an open forum for the expression of ideas and dialogue on issues affecting young people, and the promotion of the Bronx as an important cultural, political and artistic force. Teen Council participants are selected from previous students of our Student Docent Program and Lab Classes.
