 SATELLITE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM SPRING 2015 
Feb 5–May 21, 2015 | Weekly on Thursdays, 4:30–7 PM

What does it mean for a museum to be an icon of the city? In this
program, you’ll join a group of teens passionate about art to make
an impact on the Museum and our community. We’ll discover works
of art in-depth and connect them to our lives today, including exploring
fashion and art in the Museum’s exhibition Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of
Ebony Fashion Fair. We’ll go behind the scenes and meet Museum
staff to learn about arts careers and develop your own resume. You’ll
share your passion for art with elementary school students. For your
final project, you'll create a video project about what you've learned
using iPads, sharing it at an opening celebration.
