The Art & Tech Teen Internship offered by LACMA aims to provide high school students with tools and knowledge that can be applied to their future career pursuits and everyday art practices. This program is designed to close the opportunity gap for youths, particularly those from low-income communities, by building a community for students to engage in dialogue and take ownership of their learning. The curriculum of this program includes exploring digital image manipulation using creative apps such as Procreate, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and restructuring art in more immersive and collaborative ways. The Art & Tech Teen Internship is delivered in-person at LACMA and the Charles White Elementary School Gallery. The program spans over six months, with sessions taking place on Saturdays. As part of the learning process, students work on specialized art projects for the Education Community Programs department and gain hands-on work experience in museum education involving art and technology practices. The program is led by the Education Community Coordinator Nini Sanchez and LACMA Teaching Artist Katy Unger, both of whom guide the students in documenting their life and perspectives about art. The Art & Tech Teen Internship is open to high school students aged 16 to 18 who come from historically marginalized communities and wish to pursue a career in museum education, community work, or museum studies. The program offers more than just museum work experience in the visual arts field. On completion of the program, students are expected to have built a solid foundation of personal growth and confidence needed to succeed in all aspects of life. They also gain experience in creating digital art and animations, and work on a final project that reflects their understanding of the connection between art and technology.
