The Artist Teen Mentoring Project (ATMP) runs from January to March each year, and pairs teens (ages 16 to 18 years) interested in art with professional artists to work on a project in that artist’s studio space. An invaluable opportunity, this program enables teens to get a glimpse of the working life of a professional artist. Mentors help teens to design and create a project in that artist’s preferred medium. Teens may get the chance to work in a new medium or to hone techniques in a medium they are already familiar with. The program culminates in a show of the work produced in the studio with an opening in our Student Gallery. Additional information on ATMP Artists/teachers wishing to teach classes at the Rogue Gallery & Art Center should print and submit an Education Proposal. If you have additional questions after reading the information for potential instructors, email Classes & Workshops.
