MTS is Excited for the Frick's first Teen Night
MTS explored the elegant Frick Collection this past Thursday with great anticipation for the museum’s first free museum event for teens this September. We were greeted by Rika Burnham, Head of Education, who introduced us to the classic beauty of the Frick’s European art. We admired the peacefulness and mature atmosphere of the Frick as well as the breathtaking art. Rika encouraged us to admire Giovanni Bellini’s famous painting of St. Francis and let us discover the painting’s symbolism and mystery on our own. From the symbolism of the donkey and sheep in the painting to the shadows under St. Francis’ feet that suggest he is hovering ever so slightly above the ground, this painting will continue to amaze us as we discover even more about it on our next visits to the Frick.
Although MTS loves how the Frick is one of New York City’s best kept secrets, we couldn’t be more excited to share this museum with other teens at the museum’s first ever free event for teens. On September 27th, the Frick will be opening up its Gilded Age mansion for teens to sketch in the Garden Court, to enjoy music by members of the Praxis Youth Leadership Orchestra, to be inspired by gallery talks, and to enjoy the wisdom of the Frick’s Chief Curator. MTS spoke with Anna Finley, Education Assistant, Claire Coveney, Communications Manager, Adrienne Lei, Education Programs Coordinator, and Eduardo, Intern, about this exciting new teen night.
So come join MTS at the Frick Collection on September 27th for this enchantingly awesome teen night!
