"THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART/BOSTON (ICA) WILL EXPAND ITS LOCAL AND NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR TEEN ARTS PROGRAMS BY ENGAGING 5,000 BOSTON-AREA TEENS IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE CREATIVE, SAFE SPACES, AND SUPPORT TEENS' ARTISTIC GROWTH, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, AND DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS FOR LIFE AND SCHOOL. THE MUSEUM WILL ALSO HOST A CONFERENCE THAT WILL BRING TOGETHER A LARGER, NATIONAL AUDIENCE OF 300 EDUCATORS, ADVOCATES, SCHOLARS, ARTISTS, PHILANTHROPISTS, POLICY MAKERS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND YOUTH TO COLLECTIVELY ENVISION A FUTURE FOR TEEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH THE ARTS, AND STRENGTHEN A NETWORK OF ADVOCATES FOR TEEN ARTS PROGRAMMING. THE CONFERENCE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A CULMINATING PUBLICATION AND ONLINE CONTENT THAT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED WIDELY. IMLS SUPPORT WILL HELP THE ICA SERVE HIGH-NEED BOSTON TEENS, EVALUATE OUTCOMES, AND EXTEND ITS EXPERTISE ON A TOPIC CRITICAL TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL AUDIENCES."

THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART/BOSTON WILL BETTER SUPPORT TEENS AS THEY NAVIGATE INTO ADULTHOOD BY EXTENDING ITS ENGAGEMENT AND LAUNCHING A PILOT PROGRAM FOR TEEN PROGRAM ALUMNI. ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT SPAN TWO SCHOOL YEARS/SUMMERS AND EMPOWER MORE THAN 4,500 TEENS TO DEVELOP AS INDIVIDUALS, CREATIVES, AND LEADERS. THE PROGRAMMING WILL EMPHASIZE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING, EMPATHY, COMMUNITY, A PERSON-CENTERED APPROACH, AND CONTEMPORARY ART ENGAGEMENT. THE PROGRAMS WILL INCLUDE MANY STUDENTS FROM THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHO ARE LOW INCOME, ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (ELL), FORMER ELL, OR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. THE MUSEUM WILL CONDUCT RESEARCH TO UNDERSTAND OUTCOMES FOR MORE THAN 200 TEEN PROGRAM ALUMNI. THE FINDINGS WILL HELP STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAM'S INFRASTRUCTURE FOR COMMUNICATING AND CONNECTING WITH ALUMNI AND EXPAND ALUMNI PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO SERVE TEENS AND EDUCATORS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY THROUGH A 2021 TEEN CONVENING.

THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, BOSTON (ICA) WILL DEEPEN AND EXTEND ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IN GRADES 6–12. PROJECT ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE WORKING WITH OVER 2,000 BOSTON-AREA TEENS THROUGH SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT EMPOWER THEM TO DEVELOP AS CREATIVES, INDIVIDUALS, AND LEADERS. THE MUSEUM IS EXPANDING PROGRAMS TO INCLUDE PRE-AND EARLY TEENS IN GRADES 6–8 AND WILL PILOT AN IN-PERSON PROGRAM DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO INTRODUCE THEM TO THE ICA’S EXISTING YOUTH COMMUNITY AND OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUTURE ENGAGEMENT. THE PILOT AND ONGOING OFFERINGS WILL EMPHASIZE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING USING CONTEMPORARY ART. THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT TEENS’ DEVELOPMENT OF STRENGTHENED IDENTITY, CREATIVITY, TRANSFERABLE SKILLS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, PARTICULARLY IN RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF WELLNESS AND ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL DISRUPTION EXPERIENCED DURING THE PANDEMIC.

THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, BOSTON WILL IMPLEMENT AN ARRAY OF OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR TEENS THAT ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH ART AND ARTISTS, SUPPORT THEIR WELL-BEING, FOSTER CREATIVITY AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND, FOR THE TEENS IN EXTENDED PROGRAMS, OFFER PAY FOR PARTICIPATION TO REDUCE FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN ARTS EXPERIENCES. THESE PROGRAMS RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE GROWING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PROJECT ENLISTS THE ASSISTANCE OF A VARIETY OF CONSULTANTS INCLUDING A SOCIAL WORKER, TEACHING ARTISTS, AND THIRD-PARTY PROGRAM EVALUATORS. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MUSEUM EDUCATION STAFF WORKING WITH YOUTH. THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN QUALITY ARTS EXPERIENCES FOR 2,000 BOSTON-AREA TEENS THAT SUPPORT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BUILD SOCIAL COMPETENCIES, FACILITATE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND PROVIDE CAREER PATHWAYS IN THE ARTS.

THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART (ICA) WILL EXPAND ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH TEENS THROUGH A SERIES OF NEW OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND A PILOT CREATIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. PROGRAMMING WILL INCLUDE NEW MEDIA COURSES, INCLUDING ADVANCED MUSIC PRODUCTION AND PHOTOGRAPHY OFFERINGS, AND FAST FORWARD, A SCHOOL-YEAR-LONG FILM PROGRAM.

IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM PLANS TO LAUNCH AN INITIATIVE THROUGH WHICH TEENS AT PARTNER PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BOSTON EARN SCHOOL CREDIT FOR PARTICIPATION IN ICA PROGRAMS. FINALLY, THEY WILL PILOT A CREATIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOCUSED ON EXHIBITION-MAKING AND PRODUCTION.
