NGV Teens

NGV Teens offers specially tailored programming that connects young people with art and artists at the Gallery.

We aim to offer the NGV as a space for young people from all backgrounds to express themselves through creative projects and discussions of the big ideas behind great art. Young creatives aged 13-17 can get involved to gain special access to the NGV, and to the broader creative community of visual artists, designers and performers in Victoria.

The NGV Teens program is generously supported by Beatrice Moignard, The Betsy and Ollie Polasek Endowment, The JTM Foundation, Alex & Brady Scanlon and Rachel Kwei.
