ADMISSION: This event is for teens only. FREE for teens.
Bay Area teens are invited to The CJM for this one-of-a-kind teen night! Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Daria Martin: Tonight the World, join us for interactive performances, music, and games inspired by memories, dreams, and technology. Plus, there will be art making, gallery activations, photo fun, snacks, prizes, and more. Teens only! Bring your friends.
Teen Takeover! is thoughtfully planned and hosted by Teen Art Connect (TAC) interns and TAC Squad members.
Teen Art Connect (TAC) internship is a year-long paid museum internship for high school students from diverse backgrounds interested in working in a world-class arts environment creating meaningful experiences for the public while developing professional skills.
TAC Squad provides teens with a deeper connection to the CJM through workshops, artist talks, screenings, special teen programs, and more while simultaneously exploring contemporary art, identity, and Jewish culture with a community of like-minded peers.
Tonight the World, Daria Martin’s new installation, co-commissioned with Barbican, London, combines computer gaming technology and film to explore the unconscious memories of her grandmother, Bay Area-based artist Susi Stiassni. As a teenager, Stiassni and her family fled then Czechoslovakia from the imminent Nazi occupation, eventually settling in Marin County, where Martin was born and raised.
Teen Programs are made possible by major support from The Covenant Foundation, The Hearst Foundations, U.S. Bank Foundation, and California Arts Council. These programs are part of the Jewish Teen Education and Engagement Initiative (Teen Initiative), a project of the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund, with support from the Jim Joseph Foundation and a consortium of local funders. Additional support is provided by the Miranda Lux Foundation and Ira A. Roschelle M.D. Family Foundation.
