MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art) offers several programs for high schools students: MoMA After School encourages high school students’ active engagement with works of modern and contemporary art. Students participate in studio projects, conversations and debates with peers and museum staff, while learning about careers and practices within the visual arts. All programs are free, and MoMA provides the supplies and materials. In the Making: Summer at MoMA is a six-week summer art-making program for high school students. Students participate in studio activities as well as conversations with artists and MoMA staff, field trips, special tours of the museum’s collection, writing exercises and art instruction by MoMA educators. Student artwork is shown in a small culminating exhibit. Tenth- to 12th-graders may apply, and there is no need for previous art experience. The MoMA high school summer internship is a six-week paid program that exposes high school students to museum work and practical job skills. In addition to their work in a museum department, students attend lectures by museum staff and visit other arts organizations. There is limited space, with preference to students who have prior museum or administrative experience. Open to students of New York City public high schools who will be entering 11th or 12th grade in fall or who have recently graduated.
