Emily Carr University Teen Art Group: Vancouver

The Teen Art Group (TAG) is an art program for youth ages 15-18, taking place two afternoons each month during the school year, from October to May. The program alternates between the Vancouver Art Gallery and Emily Carr University of Art + Design. At the Vancouver Art Gallery students are introduced to a new exhibition each month and respond to the ideas in it two weeks later in a studio session at Emily Carr University. Students work with a variety of artists and innovators and have the opportunity to explore visual culture in a diversity of ways.

TAG is a great opportunity for teens who are interested in art and design and who want to explore and expand their creative practice while attending high school.

  • Get behind-the-scenes access to instructors and studios at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, and the Vancouver Art Gallery’s collections, curators and visiting artists.
  • Participate in hands-on art-making workshops every month and explore a wide range of issues and media with artists and educators.
  • Generate new ideas and skills for your portfolio and meet other teens who are interested in art.
