Teens participate in the High School Video Workshop.
In this free vacation week program, students in grades 9 – 12 work with a teaching artist to explore video as an artistic medium. Students will use video as a form of personal expression and will work in small groups to create films. The class will explore how to use video in creative ways, from pre-production to developing camera techniques and, finally, editing. No prior experience necessary—beginners are welcome!
Classes will take place in person April 15, 16, 17, 18; 2025; 12 pm – 5 pm.
To register, please complete this form by Friday, April 4, 2025.
The High School Video Workshop Series is made possible, in part, through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.

The Jewish Museum Teen Interns invite middle and high school students to participate in a photo contest inspired by the exhibition The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt.
The exhibition explores how artists in Rembrandt’s time created imagery based on the biblical Book of Esther. Queen Esther’s story of resilience and courage resonated widely throughout culture, and many artists used her story as a symbol of triumph over adversity.
For this contest, students are encouraged to consider inspiration and transformation. To participate, students must submit an original photograph that reflects upon the question What change do you want to see in the world, and what inspires or represents that change?
All images and content must be the student’s own original work and free from copyright restrictions. This prompt is open to your creative and artistic interpretation and students may submit up to three distinct photographs. Winning photographs will be featured on the Jewish Museum's social media platforms and winners will also receive an American Express gift card. Please use this form to submit your photograph by May 9, 2025.
Read about a previous Teen Photo Contest: Time and Tradition, and view the winner's photograph and artist statements in this story on the Jewish Museum's Medium blog. News about the winners of the fall photo contest will be posted soon.
Teen Programs at the Jewish Museum are supported by the Gray Foundation, Epstein Teicher Philanthropies, Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, and Ezra Jack Keats Foundation, Inc.
Additional support is provided, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
