Teen nights at Schack Art Center: If you are a teenager looking for something fun and creative to do — for free — on a weekday night, you might wander over to the Schack Art Center.

Teen nights are starting up at the Schack Art Center again this fall with opportunities for teens to watch glass blowers, express yourself creatively, have treats and meet local artists.

Teen nights begin with an open studio night for teens, from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the center, 2921 Hoyt Ave, Everett.

The event is free and offers a chance for teens to watch Anna Mastronardi Novak make “Friendship Folios,” a mini-sketch book that teens can take home; or watch Jody Cain creating marbled paper, or Bonnie Crane offering a relief print project and Tinnel Hillis offering a “Stained Glass: Drawing with Shapes &Colors” project.

This is the first of four scheduled teen nights through December. The others are scheduled for: 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 25; 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 27; and 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 20.

Admission to open studio nights for teens is free.
