Let's face it, teens deal with a lot. Between school, a global pandemic, and other stressors (like the fact that being a teenager is just weird), teens don't always have time to be creative, or an outlet to do so. That's why we created this teen zine, Teen Spotlight! You can get creative by submitting your own work or be inspired by the unique submissions of teens in your area. It's a perfect excuse for a break, and a way to connect with other teens through their art! See the information below for guidance on what to submit and how to be part of Teen Spotlight!
