With support from the California Arts Council, Museum Of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara will be able to continue Teen Arts Collective (TAC), a leadership development program for local teens. Ten high school students from diverse communities are selected to participate in this program which develops visual literacy and leadership skills, and encourages them to pursue a career in the arts through exposure to practicing artists, creative professionals, and arts institutions.
Our mission is to support experimentation in the broad field of contemporary visual culture and act as an incubator for risk-taking and generative activity via the arts. We us art as as prism by which to study and examine myriad cross-disciplinary issues that range from politics and religion, to gender and ethnicity.
