Teen Arts Week is NYC’s only citywide celebration of the arts for teens.
The festival will run from March 11 – 17, 2024.
Launched by 92NY’s Teen Producers in 2019, Teen Arts Week celebrates the best of arts programing for teens around NYC! In collaboration with leading cultural organizations in all five boroughs, Teen Arts Week offers a full schedule of free classes, workshops, and performances for teens all over the city. These events enable teens to gain hands-on experience in different areas of the arts, engage with professionals in the creative industries, and explore pathways to future leadership within the context of the arts. See our growing list of participating organizations below.
The festival features free daytime, after-school, and weekend cultural events in areas such as art-making, literary arts, music, dance, theater, film & media, and college/career readiness. A full list of festival offerings will be available on Wednesday, January 31. Registration for Teen Arts Week events will be open to anyone 14-18 with a valid school ID.
In anticipation of the festival, 92NY will be hosting the Teen Arts Week Ramp-up Event on Wednesday, February 28 at 10:30 am – 1 pm.
