Teens today communicate with technology that has shaped a new language. Text messaging and emailing encourage the abbreviations of words and phrases that are decipherable only to their own generation. Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery. Students from Central, Coronado, Marcos de Niza and McClintock high schools met with local and national artists through VISIONS, SMoCA’s teen program. This exhibition is the result of ideas and conversations sparked by these monthly meetings.
Visions, SMoCA's art program for teens, encourages creative self-expression and civic engagement.
