Free Access: High school students visit galleries at MAD for free with ID (*individual not group tours). Whether looking for a cool place to see art, or a subject for a school project, MAD is a great, free after-school destination.

MAD Artists and Youth Program: Artists from the Museum’s exhibitions work with teens on portfolio reviews, and art making workshops just for high school students. FREE

Portfolio Development Workshops: This is a series of seminars and workshops targeted towards college-bound high school students, designed to enable them to meet and learn from artists, curators, and other museum professionals. Each participant has the opportunity to have their artwork and artist statement critiqued by curators and professional artists.

Student-led teams will work with designers to develop and create molds using 3-D printing technology (Makerbots) to compete for prizes and recognition in the following categories: structural integrity; creativity; taste; aesthetics; and best use and showcase of Jell-O. This year’s Jell-O Mold Competition partners include Core77, Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Papabubble, Holstee, and more!
