Emerging Artist Apprenticeship

NVAM Education is looking for high school students from Chicago that are interested in working as apprentices from July through early August. This is a paid opportunity provided through After School Matters. The NVAM Education Apprenticeship program will allow teens interested in art, storytelling and digital media the opportunity to work in a museum environment. We will spend 6 weeks making art, developing a new teen-focused blog and working one-on-one with veteran artists and museum professionals. We are looking for teens interested in expressing themselves creatively and connecting their own life stories to the artwork in our permanent collection while building dialogue with other artists and peers. Times: Tuesday - Friday 1 pm - 4 pm, July 1- August 7 Interested youth can apply through the After School Matters website. Choose “National Veterans Art Museum” from the drop-down list and be sure to apply before the end of May!
