THE DRAWING CENTER
Teen Art Workshop
Saturday, June 27 | for ages 13-17
10am-Noon | FREE! No experience necessary!
Join us to explore İnci Eviner’s short film Runaway Girls and her use of drawing as it takes on new dimensions as actor, action, and freedom.
At the crossroads of drawing and performance, İnci Eviner's Runaway Girls uses repetitive, hypnotically shifting scenes to explore contemporary feminism in Turkish culture. After viewing the film, we will trace multiple life-size silhouettes and draw masks to create two puppet-like images of self/other - - our silhouette and an interchangeable face.
For more information and to make advance reservations for Teen Art Workshops at The Drawing Center, please call 212-219-2166 x205 or email agood@drawingcenter.org.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards has an impressive legacy dating back to 1923. Over the years, the Awards have grown to become the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in the U.S., and the nation’s largest source of scholarships for creative young artists and writers. A noteworthy roster of past winners includes Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, John Updike, and many more.
Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual and literary-arts organizations across the country to bring The Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
In the last five years alone, students submitted nearly 900,000 original works of art and writing. During that period, more than 60 top arts institutes and colleges have partnered with the Awards to make $40 million in scholarships and financial aid available to regional and national Scholastic Award winners.
