By a strange and lucky coincidence, I was at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum (EMPSFM) in Seattle for a two-day workshop. It is apropos that the EMPSFM workshop was focused on how the museum can deepen relationships with teen audiences. Do these teens need EMPSFM to survive? Probably not.

The Waffle Shop is a cafe and live streaming TV channel that serves a diverse audience of late night club-goers and locals in an urban neighborhood. PieLab resembles other community development projects: it employs struggling teens, provides local entrepreneurs and organizations with space and support, and brings together diverse folks.

Temple Contemporary’s mission is to creatively re-imagine the social function of art through questions of local relevance and international significance. Every other year, they convene TUPAC, a group of 35 outside advisors, including teens, college students, Temple University professors, artists, philanthropists, and community leaders.

It was a local history urban scavenger hunt that sent teams of 2-5 people out into the city to track down as many historic checkpoints as they could over the course of an evening. Everything about the event--from the time slot to the tone of the content to the music played--was designed for that audience. Performances just for teens.

We're always happy for more bodies in the door, but if supporting teens means alienating seniors, there's a problem. The Brooklyn Museum allows skateboarders to use their public outdoor space, much to the chagrin of some locals. Be free, nearly free, often free, or free for locals. And none of the museums in the park was open.

I watched many entertaining shorts featuring students explaining exhibits to the beat of popular and illegally uploaded music. When I watch the videos teens created at the Exploratorium and post on YouTube, I see the aspects of the exhibits they thought were most important to share with their classmates. What do you want?”

We tried on clothes, listened to new music, and threw pennies in the fountain. It’s ironic, when you think about the great pains that museums and libraries go to to create spaces that are “teen-positive,” that malls attract kids effortlessly with fluorescent lights and lousy music. But I grew up in L.A. I’m a valley girl.

So we wanted to primarily address that issue: how can we pursue creative, innovative ideas for getting food out there that's affordable, that's local, that's fresh, and health-supportive, and then provide under that a foundation of education. We do a lot of work with teens in the summertime.

A group in their late teens/early 20s were wandering through the museumwide exhibition on love. At the adjacent table, my colleague Stacey Garcia was meeting with a local artist, Kyle Lane-McKinley, to talk about an upcoming project. When I walked by the first time, the teens were collaging and Kyle and Stacey were talking.

So I can tell y’all that stuff, y’all, but I’ll tell you my most important job and how I really, really learned to hone my leadership skills was as solo mama to this teen who, my friends, she has the mack daddy of all summer jobs. Do y’all know what that is? What is the mack daddy of summer jobs for young people?

If you have a tween or a teen, I’m sure you’re familiar with TikTok. But what works best, music, humor, entertainment, surprise, relatability. It’s focused on music and video effects. There’s differences in the duet feature on TikTok and music that’s available on TikTok. Okay, TikTok now.
