Youth Programs

What has been traditionally understood as "arts education" at other institutions stands apart at Eyebeam, as our youth programs put aspiring young artists together  in a collaborative environment with emerging and established practitioners from the community.

Our three on-going youth programs are After-School Atelier (ASA), a semester-long studio-based program on new media art for NYC public high school and middle school students; Girls-Eye View (GEV), a program for NYC middle school girls that encourages experimentation with technology; and Digital Day Camp (DDC), our annual summer program that teaches students about new art and technology tools. Participants in past youth programs have engaged in project-based learning around themes of bio-tech, urban intervention, gaming, and wearable technology.

Our newest youth program is our student residency.
