Princeton University Art Museum Summer Academy
Join us for a three-week program designed to provide high school students from Trenton Central and Ewing High Schools with the opportunity to learn about careers in art museums and the visual arts while working with mentors, artists, and professionals from Princeton University and the surrounding region. Students will explore themes related to identity, power, and social justice through close engagement with original works of art. The program will culminate in a capstone project providing students the opportunity to create a work of art, poem, musical piece, or other creative expression, which will be exhibited or shared during a closing celebration.
