Teen Studio: Here Comes the Sun

Teens: Ready to level up your art? Join us for Teen Studio, a free art-making program exclusively for teens ages 13–19. Push your artistic boundaries using materials and techniques inspired by artists whose work is now on view at the Hirshhorn.

Join us in Art School every weekend in April, where we’ll explore art inspired by the natural world! This Saturday, we’ll learn about assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. Then we’ll learn how to make cyanotype prints using natural materials and other found objects with guest artist Wildalys Quiñones. 

Guest Artist 



Wildalys Quiñones is a Puerto Rican mixed-media artist based in Washington, DC, with a focus on cyanotype, pyrography, and fiber arts. Her personal work centers on the process of creation itself, choosing to focus on the mindful and meditative aspects of making rather than the final product. Guided by the belief that art and craftmaking should be accessible to everyone, Wildalys uses her background in museum education to develop art workshops in museum and library spaces that explore new mediums while fostering a sense of exploration and play.

Drop in to Teen Studio every Saturday between 2:30 and 4 PM. Register for the entire school year here (one-time registration covers all sessions). Join one session or join them all! Meet in Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level.

Guest Artist: Wildalys Quiñones

ABOUT TEEN STUDIO

Teens ages 13–19 are invited to hang out and get creative at the Hirshhorn’s Teen Studio. Teen Studio is a free series of art-making workshops offered from 2:30 to 4 PM every Saturday. All skill levels are welcome—from the novice notebook doodler to the experienced teen artist, there’s something for everyone!

Each month, we’ll dive into a fresh theme inspired by artists on view. Each workshop will offer a mix of time in the galleries, where we’ll encounter groundbreaking artists, and time in Hirshhorn Art School, where we’ll experiment with new media and materials. Whether you’re into painting, sculpture, 3D design, animation, or something else, you’ll get hands-on experience and unlock new creative skills.

If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact HMSGEducation@si.edu. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.
