Youth Assembly Workshops are hands-on sessions led by teens and BICA School Teaching Artists. Each workshop takes on a new project in a different medium or approach, so participants build skills they can bring back to their own work. No experience needed.

About Youth Assembly:
BICA School Youth Assembly is a free program for artists ages 14–18 working across visual art, writing, and civic engagement. Join us for a monthly workshop and open studio hours — bring your own project or start something new. The year builds toward a group exhibition and zine at BICA.
BICA School Youth Assembly is led with support from teaching artist Robin Lee Jordan. The 2026-2027 season is funded by WNY With Youth For Youth (WYFY), a grant designed, reviewed, and selected by youth. WYFY is supported by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and funded by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.
