Prompted by our vision of inspiring people through art to look at their world in new ways, the Frist Art Museum invited teens to submit their artwork for this sixth edition of Teens Take the Frist! The resulting selection features artworks by over ninety emerging Middle Tennessee artists exploring the theme of nature in a variety of media.
This exhibition, along with other Frist initiatives like Teen ARTlabs and the Teen Arts Action Group, is intended to give individuals ages 13–19 a safe space to express themselves and participate in activities with peers and art professionals.
