TEENS @ TAM
Ambassador Council
Join us for an end-of-year Art Club Summit—a chance to connect with fellow high school art students, share ideas, and help shape the future of teen programming at the museum.
- Hands-on Art Activity: Blind Contour Portrait Drawing
- Brainstorm Session: Tell us what YOU want from the museum! What kinds of events, programs, and opportunities would excite you?
- Soda Bar: Mix up your own signature drink!
- Networking & Collaboration: Meet other creative students from across the region.
This is your chance to have a say in shaping the museum’s teen programs—whether it’s events, workshops, exhibits, or new opportunities. Your voice matters!
FREE FOR MEMBERS, $5 FOR NON-MEMBERS
Get ready for the ultimate day date: a chaotic, creative, and completely unpredictable afternoon at The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho! Join us on Saturday, May 10, from 1-4 PM for the Teen Task Party, where the rules are simple: pick a task, complete it, repeat.
We’ll provide all the materials—you bring the energy, imagination, and sense of adventure! Pull a random challenge from the task jar or throw your own wild idea into the mix. Will you…
- Turn yourself into a Van Gogh painting?
- Build a fire-breathing dragon?
- Make a birthday cake out of anything (and sing to a stranger)?
- Convince someone to joust with you?
- Form a human sculpture or build a confetti bomb?
There’s no right or wrong way to play—just jump in and start tackling as many absurd, hilarious, and artistic tasks as possible!
Open to all teens, pre-registration appreciated, but not required. Bring your friends, your creativity, and your competitive spirit—because anything can happen at the Teen Task Party!
FREE FOR ALL ATTENDEES
