Youth Invasion 2008 

Youth Invasion's date has been moved to Saturday, May 10th.
Mark your calendars!

Youth Invasion is an annual event at the Warhol, coordinated by the teens in our youth program, guided by Warhol staff.  The evening includes music, food, games, art activities, youth artwork, and the fashion show.  Youth Invasion is attended by hundreds of high school students from the Pittsburgh area.  This is an opportunity for young artists to show their work in an internationally respected museum, and get to know creative young people from other schools.

Youth Invasion Fashion Show

Submit your designs and apply to the Youth Invasion fashion show!  Submissions should relate to popular culture, the mass media, or experimentation.  We encourage young artists and designers to submit work that reflects their own interests, contemporary pop culture and media.  We actually prefer not to get work that directly copies Andy Warhol’s work. 

This is a unique and fun opportunity open to any Pittsburgh area high school student.

Youth Art at the Warhol

Submit your artwork for possible inclusion in Youth Invasion!  Selected artworks will be exhibited in the museum, alongside the work of Andy Warhol, for a month.  We’re looking for submissions that feature teens’ unique artistic take on Andy Warhol, as expressed in paintings, video, audio, printmaking, performance, and more.  Artwork that takes a fresh spin on Warhol/Pop Culture or is experimental in nature is encouraged.  This can and should be taken loosely—we are NOT looking for work that directly copies Warhol.  Past successful projects have included silkscreened washing machines, sculptural environments, performance videos, and large-scale photos of silkscreened bodies.
