The Modern’s Teen/Artist Project Annual Exhibition
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth announces the annual exhibition featuring work created by students participating in the Modern’s Teen/Artist Project.

The exhibition will be on view to the public from June 5 until June 30, 2026, at The Pool Near Southside, located at 1801 8th Avenue, Fort Worth, TX, 76110. An opening reception will be held on June 5, from 6 to 8 pm.
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s Teen/Artist Project (TAP) is an ongoing program in which the Museum partners with regional and national teaching artists to expand the knowledge of art, analysis, and techniques for young, aspiring artists. High school students are selected to participate in the free TAP program through a portfolio and application process. An important objective of TAP is for both students and visiting artists to develop a personal and meaningful relationship with the Modern and its holdings through close, continuous investigation.

Visiting artists work with the Modern Education Department to design relevant and challenging seminars spanning one to four weeks. These artist-run workshops include transdisciplinary conversations within the museum galleries and corresponding projects in the museum’s studio.
With every TAP season, students glean rich insights into the ideas and practices of the makers and thinkers they’ve had the opportunity to work with, as well as develop their own attitudes and impulses within the field of contemporary art.
