PEEC for TEENS (13–18 years old)
PEEC is a free program for teens, who are interested in art-making as an enrichment activity that goes beyond making crafts. The aim of the program is to provide a space for youth to create art, share stories, collaborate, explore, and identify new ways to use art in their lives. The Athenaeum offers facilities, resources, guidance, instruction, and support. The open studio program includes a rotation of multidisciplinary art instructors offering workshops in their respective fields, as well as curricular activities that involve the use of the Athenaeum library resources as a starting point for projects. Activities include drawing, painting, research, and introduction to various media.
The program is free and reservations can be made by phone (858-454-5872) or email Maura Walters at mwalters@ljathenaeum.org. The main venue for the program is the Athenaeum’s art studio at 1008 Wall Street, entrance on Girard Avenue.
