Problem Children 2024

Applications are now open.

Problem Children is now accepting applications from young Bay Area artists (14 to 18) who are deeply curious, wildly ambitious and want to create beautiful, inspiring things.

The summer mentorship program exists for young creatives who want to push themselves, develop a community of peers, and deepen their self-understanding. Problem Children honors youth by challenging their creativity, strengthening their courage, and fostering their self-assurance to chart their own future.

At the heart of the program is the belief that if people are given the opportunity to do something great, they will.

Applications are open through May 22nd with space for six young creatives.

Program runs from June to August.
