SCHOOLS & TEACHERS
February – June 2025
This year we will provide art programming to accommodate the different needs of teachers and their students in and out of school.
1) In Person at the gallery - As in the past, it is always better to view art work in person and this semester we have great tours and hands-on activities scheduled for in person visits.
2) Virtual - with provided kits, instructions, and a live virtual get together. Teachers will have access to a scheduled time with the Education Coordinator who will lead a tour either virtually or photographic image of the art gallery/museum and enough art materials for the class to work on together.
