They’ll have to travel a bit for this freebie – but if you’ve got a budding art or film buff on your hands (and want him or her OFF your hands for a few hours) – it’s so worth it.

The Fall 2009 – Winter 2010 MoMa Teen offerings include Free Pizza, Free creative events, Free Movies. EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT! Coming up, starting October 30, is the 1968 classic, George Romero’s Dawn of the Living Dead.  Future events include Tim Burton’s Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands and a Burton “Sneak Peak.”

The season celebrates MoMa’s Tim Burton retrospective, and (from ad) “spotlights the mythical, incredible and often shocking characters and stories that artists create in film, performance and visual art.”

The Program runs Every Friday Night during the School Year at
Museum of Modern Art
11 W. 53rd St – NYC
4PM – 8PM

First Come First Served (up to 120 teens for films, 60 for workshops) and no need to pre-register. (We all know how teens leave things till last minute).
