Congratulations to the winners of our annual teen art invitational, Talking Back! 

In celebration of Youth Art Month, each March we invite students grades 7-10 to respond to one of five works of art from our permanent collections. 

These students consider theme, context, media, and artist intent as they "talk back" to the original works with their own. 

This program is even more unique in that it is juried by the museum's Teen Docent Corps, who practice their own skills of observation and critique through the selection process. 

Take a peek at this year’s winners in each response category!

All category winners and honorable mentions receive funds for art supplies.
