For over 20 years, the Mexic-Arte Museum has partnered with Totally Cool Totally Art (TCTA) to curate and host an exhibition to celebrate the artworks created by youth in Austin area rec centers.
An opening reception is held to bring together students, families, instructors, and coordinators to recognize artists, artworks, and institutional support. It’s a chance for students to connect with the community, receive awards, and see their artwork displayed in a museum setting. This exhibition is one of Mexic-Arte’s favorite ways to platform the youth and inspire them to pursue the arts.
Totally Cool Totally Art (TCTA) has been developing teen creativity and confidence since 1996. TCTA is unique in that their classes are completely free to Austin’s teen community. Their mission is to help give teens new experiences, build respect and trust, and improve their skills in creative expression, communication, teamwork, and art appreciation.
This collection showcases work from the first half of the 2024-2025 season, in which you will find painting, sculpture, metalsmithing and culinary art.
