PAMM and MOCA Present Teens as Teachers: Teen Summit IV

April 25, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:30 PM
At PAMM

Join us for a free day of tours, interactive presentations, performances, food, swag bags, art-making workshops, mindfulness workshops, and live music!

Connect with teens from Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA), and other South Florida institutions to learn how young people nurture their creativity and elevate their voices through teen programs at local museums and community organizations. Participate in a tour led by the PAMM Teen Arts Council (PTAC), hear from teen ambassadors about their programs, attend multiple live performances, create art in an intergenerational space facilitated by MOCA and the Hive teens, and attend an arts immersion workshop for teens and an art therapy session for teachers.

Gallery Tours

Through a “pursuit of passion” lens, the PTAC ambassadors have selected three artworks that embody this theme and will share their favorite highlights using the inquiry-driven approach at the heart of youth tours at PAMM. Engage in deep discussion about modern and contemporary art and explore art, issues, and ideas that matter most to our young people.

Teen Panel

Teen ambassadors from PAMM, MOCA, and more will share what it means to be a teen in these spaces. Hear about how each of these programs and institutions shapes them. Learn how you or your students can connect to these transformative out-of-school time opportunities.

Art Making

MOCA teens and the Hive teens will lead an intergenerational art workshop. Flex your artistic muscles as teens teach you art-making techniques you can implement in your classroom or on your own.

Creative Expression Workshop

Finish the day with an immersive arts workshop catered specifically for teens while teachers attend an equally engaging art therapy workshop.

Music and Performances

Enjoy a variety of live music and performances throughout the day.

Open to Middle and High School teens and educators in all subject areas. M-DCPS PD Credits: 7
