About the Program
Join middle and high school students from across the city for a morning of community, culture, and creativity at the Skirball!
Student Takeover Day is the culmination of a multi-week high-school residency, in which one class of students partners with a teaching artist and Skirball educators to create pieces inspired by the Skirball's permanent exhibition, Visions and Values: Jewish Life from Antiquity to America. This year's Student Takeover Day features presentations by students from East Valley High School.
Takeover participants will be able to:
- Experience a presentation of new work created by the Skirball's 2023–2024 high school residency program
- Participate in a fun and reflective art-making activity
- Go on a guided gallery tour of Visions and Values

The Art of Dialogue: A Scriptwriting Residency with St. Mary’s Academy
The stories we tell—around a dinner table, in the grocery checkout line, or even what we say to ourselves—shape our lives and the world we live in. Whose stories get told? Who gets to hear those stories? These are some of the questions we asked ourselves as we built the curriculum for a six-week residency with high schoolers at St. Mary's Academy in Inglewood.
Check out the Building a Better World blog for more information about the Skirball's high school residency program and the 2023 Student Takeover Day.
