Lasting Impacts for Alumni
Whitney Museum of American Art
Overall, respondents rated their teen art program
as the most positive influence in their youth.
Whitney Museum of American Art
“It’s sort of a lifelong transformation. Having gone
through the program I’ve felt like the museum is home to
me. . . . Even if I’ve never been to a particular museum
before, I just know how to be in that space. I value
museums more and more.” (CAMH participant)

PHOTO JOURNAL SNAPSHOT:
“Think big!” An artist only develops by learning to take risks. At the beginning of the
school year, most of my students dare not draw or paint on a sheet of paper larger than
8.5x11”. This is where I come in. with positive encouragement and clear expectations, all
students will paint on a 4’x5’ canvas that they build themselves. During my
apprenticeship at MOCA I was encouraged to take risks and learn from the
experiences.
– John Ildefonso (MOCA Participant)
