@hillarym

“I feel like the Museum is my

second home.”

“I learned that art holds all the answers to any questions

anyone may have, you just

have to search for it.”

“I wish school was like this.”

MAM- TESTIMONIALS#MW2015 @antenna_lab

@MMMooshme @MAM_Chelsea @hillarym

“I have been exposed to individuals who encourage me both

academically and artistically…to prioritize, express myself in

various artistic media, and learn more about myself and the

world around me.

Now,…I see (the AIC) as a haven for artistic expression and

personal development…. I hope to continue to contribute to

the museum once I graduate. There will be tears.”

-Neftaly Lara

Teen Lab participant

and intern

• Support don’t exploit

• Be transparent about ownership and decision making

• Ask teens and follow through

• Practice what you preach

• Do it like it’s real...because it is

• Take risks – clean up later
