Teen Drop-In: Drawing Studio

Build your design toolkit! This month, join us for an open drawing studio inspired by the new exhibition Art of Noise. Come enjoy snacks, a live DJ set with Building Beats, an exhibition tour, and plenty of drawing supplies! Each participant will receive a sketchbook to take home.

Teen Drop-In is a series of free, drop-in workshops for high school students exploring techniques, strategies, and careers in design. No prior experience required—just bring yourself and a creative mindset.

Teen Drop-In programs are developed for teens only; no adults are permitted.

• Format: This in-person program will be a hands-on design drop-in workshop (stay for as little or as much time as you like). No previous sewing experience is required. All materials are included.
• About the space: This program will take place in the galleries and in Cooper Hewitt’s Lecture Room on the ground floor of the museum. It is fully wheelchair accessible. There will be group seating at tables. There is an accessible restroom on the same floor. Read more about accessibility at Cooper Hewitt.
• Accommodations: If we can provide services to support your participation, email us at [email protected]. Please make your request as far in advance as possible—preferably at least ten days before the program date.
