Teen Visions: 2024

Gallery Hours: August 24 – September 6, 2023

Thursdays – Fridays: 2 – 5pm | Saturdays: 12 – 4pm

Experience art through the eyes of talented teens who created an impressive collection of artworks, including drawing, painting, photography, digital animation, film, mixed media, and more!

Teen Visions is a culmination of the hard work and dedication of selected young artists from The Art Effect’s 2024 summer programs including Summer Art Institute, Junior Art Institute, MADLab, Spark Studios, and D-LIT. It is an incredible accomplishment to be chosen for the Teen Visions Exhibition. Teaching artists and staff choose more than 65 artworks of exceptional technique to be included in the exhibition taking place at the beautiful Trolley Barn Gallery.

Visual works in the show – which always proves both richly varied and exciting, as well as a demonstration as to why nearly all of The Art Effect’s Art Institute students get into the nation’s top visual arts programs – include paintings, drawings, mixed media, photography and sculpture by students from many Mid-Hudson school districts, counties, towns, villages and cities. The exhibition will be on display through September 6, 2024. Gallery hours are listed above.

Family, friends, and the community are invited to join us for the Opening Reception and End of Summer Program Celebration on Saturday, August 24 from 2–4 PM. Enjoy face painting, activity tables, and a scavenger hunt. Information about upcoming classes and events will be available as well.

We invite exhibiting student artists back on Saturday, September 7 from 12–4 PM for art pickup and a pre-portfolio day. Students will have the opportunity to have photographs taken of their work as well as receive pre-portfolio reviews in preparation for Portfolio Day on October 4. Teen Visions’ artists will be able to take their artwork home with them at the end of the evening!
