Teen Art Studio @AMP

Creative exploration and community go hand in hand at Teen Art Studio (TAS) for ages 13 to 18. Guided by a teaching artist, you can try new materials, develop your own ideas, and connect with others in a relaxed, supportive environment. It’s a space to grow as an artist and have fun doing it.

Come as you are. No pressure, just possibilities.

Every Second Saturday, the studio becomes a creative zone where you can try something new, meet people who get you, and see your ideas come to life—with guidance from a teaching artist and no pressure to be perfect.

Teen Art Studio is a drop-in program, so you can come once or as often as you like. Many teens return month after month to build skills, portfolios, and friendships. Teaching artist Shana Bazelmans brings experience, encouragement, and creative prompts to help your ideas take shape. It’s not just about making art—it’s about feeling seen, supported, and inspired.
