Making Your Mark is a paid studio art-making intensive for rising junior and senior New York City public high school students. This summer, teen participants will focus on the role of connection in the artistic process. Drawing inspiration from works in Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within and Isamu Noguchi’s interest in connecting to the natural environment, students will experiment with interdisciplinary techniques, explore multiple aspects of their own creativity, self-expression, and personal growth, and collaborate on a culminating exhibition of their work at The Noguchi Museum.

Teen participants are expected to attend all sixteen sessions, meeting at The Noguchi Museum from July 8–August 1, 2024, Mondays–Thursdays, 11 am–4 pm. All art materials will be provided and students will receive a $600 stipend for full participation in the program, with the option to receive a MetroCard for transportation to the museum.
