About Teen Creative Arts
Teen Creative Arts is MGB’s art-for-wellness studio time for teens. Our goal is to build community, self-expression, and emotional skills through creative practice. Teens work on their own art, learn from local artists during monthly workshops, and connect with peers in a relaxed, supportive environment.
