A Metropolitan (Museum) Summer

Chang decided that this internship opportunity would not only immerse her in the world of art, but help her reach out to teens around the world. Although the internship is only available to forty-six teenagers from the tri-state area, Chang said the program she was a part of had a lot of outreach. “One of the events we did was Teens Take the Met, which happened virtually. It’s basically two days filled with engaging conversations with teens from around the world that connect art with current events. We talked about the connection between race, sexuality, politics, and how they influence and are influenced by many different forms of art. I really think that this program is bringing up a generation of more empathetic and open-minded teenagers to make the world a better place.”
