Are you 15–17 years old with a passion for art and design? We want to hear from you!
We are looking to recruit a diverse group of friendly, inclusive and enthusiastic young people to join the 2025 NGV Teen Council.
The annual cohort will go behind the scenes to learn about gallery operations across various departments, actively contributing to the design, coordination, and promotion of NGV teen programs. Meetings take place at the NGV from 4.30–6pm, one Wednesday per month from February – September. Sometimes, these meetings are scheduled in the school holidays.
“Being on the Teen Council has been such a privilege. I’ve gotten to meet so many new people, I’ve learnt so much about art and have been exposed to so many amazing opportunities to do with creative arts. It was really cool to be a part of that.”
