    The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia is proud to present the Teen Apprenticeship Program!
    The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia’s (CAC) Teen Apprenticeship Program (TAP) is a unique opportunity for 10-15 high school students to learn about contemporary art, CAC, and related careers in the arts. Apprentices gain hands-on work experience while meeting and working with artists and museum professionals.

    Program Activities
    TAP consists of weekly sessions throughout the spring. Initial sessions provide an introduction to the Museum, behind-the-scenes operations, and Museum staff. Subsequent sessions focus on current CAC exhibitions, college and career preparation, and other topics and projects.

    During their time at CAC, apprentices may also work directly with CAC staff in various departments on specific projects and events. This aspect of the apprenticeship introduces participants to a full range of Museum activities and issues. Apprentices also receive CAC perks for their efforts.

    Recruitment and Contact Information
    Recruitment for TAP begins in the fall with the assistance of area high school teachers. Motivated students who are committed to learning about the arts are encouraged to apply. Teachers, please contact CAC for applications for your students. Students, ask your art teacher about applications. Please direct any questions regarding TAP to the CAC Education Department at 425.0000 x.22 or x.29.
