Mentorship for Teen Artists of Color (M-TAC)
WHAT IS M-TAC?
The Mentorship for Teen Artists of Color (M-TAC) is hosted by TeenTix, in partnership with The Colorization Collective (a teen-run organization that promotes diversity in the arts). This program will specifically allow teen artists of color to hone their artwork under the guidance of professional mentors. This is a great way for teens to better their craft, build connections in the arts community, and present their art!
