The Secret Artists Club: for teens

Finding Your Voice Through Overlooked Artists

For young people ready to go beyond “the usual suspects” in art history, this 6-week course shines a light on incredible women and non-binary artists who challenged the rules and found their own voice. From Frida Kahlo's powerful portraits to Hilma AF Klimt's symbolism, each week teens will:

• Discover the life and work of a boundary-breaking artist (Alma Thomas, Frida Kahlo, Maria Prymachenko, Hilma AF Klimt, Georgia O'Keefe, Lois Mailou Jones)
• Try out their style and techniques in painting, drawing, or mixed-media
• Explore mindfulness practices that reduce stress and fuel creativity
• Reflect on their own identity, voice, and ideas
• Curate and share their own mini-exhibition at the end of the course

A perfect blend of art making, history, and self-expression – helping teens build creative confidence in a supportive, mindful space.
