Art League Houston is excited to present the 2022 Summer Intensive for Teens’ Exhibition: What We May Be, an annual group exhibition by students from ALH’s Summer High School Studio Art Intensive Program. The Summer Intensive Program serves 16 students ages 14-17 from the Houston area over a twelve-week period in the summer. The program consists of three weeks of onsite workshops, talks, a public art project, and site visits to area art spaces. The program is led by teaching artists, art historians, educators, curators and arts professionals and delves into a variety of mediums, practices and concepts. The fourth week consists of open studio time for students to create their final projects – including one-on-one studio visits from teaching artists and curators. Students are supported by ALH as they independently complete their projects, and the program culminates in a four-week exhibition in the Art League Houston Front Gallery.
The 2022 SIFT cohort works on exquisite corpses.

ABOUT THE ALH SUMMER INTENSIVE MURAL PROJECT
Since 2019, each Summer Intensive cohort has collaborated with a local muralist to design and paint a mural in a highly visible public space in Houston. Each cohort focuses on a theme that is relevant to their class and spends time in research and development before executing their design.
The 2022 Summer Intensive Mural Project, created in collaboration with Thomas Tran, explores self-reflection and what shapes us into the person we are meant to become.
