The Warhol - Education - Youth Programs

Youth Programs at The Warhol focus on working with small groups of young people to foster leadership with creative skills and to offer relevant programming to a teen audience. Warhol's work provides a unique and engaging model for youth that maintains a relevant link to the emerging present. Young people continue to be interested in and influenced by the unique scene he created, his experimentation with diverse media and disciplines, and his manipulations of pop culture - all vital models of creativity.

	Youth Invasion
	Teens take over The Warhol for an entire week. This multi-faceted project features teens' unique take on Andy Warhol, with their points of view, ideas, and creative expressions infusing and energizing the entire Museum-its programming, interpretation, and display. The Museum works closely with students and teachers from our partner schools, Schenley High School and CAPA (Pittsburgh High School for the Creative and Performing Arts), as well as other select schools. read more

	Youth Publications
	Youth Publications at the Andy Warhol Museum is an expansion of its existing after school technology program, Urban Interview. The museum hires and trains Student Assistants -- area high school students ages 15 and up who have a strong commitment to or interest in the arts -- to create a series of both traditional and alternative publications: Urban Interview magazine is inspired by Warhol's Interview, Youth Philosophy is an untraditional art zine with a multimedia insert, and Youth Publications Online is a weekly-updated web publication. This program is supported in part by grants from YouthWorks and the Alfred M. Oppenheimer Memorial Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation. read more

	Queer Youth Programming
	The Warhol strives to present programs of interest to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer youth. Past events have included film screenings, live bands, and studio art workshops. The Warhol partners with local queer community groups and organizations to create a safe social space for area queer youth and their allies.
