Exhibition Related Programs

All exhibitions at the Museum are augmented with a custom educational component that is participatory, interdisciplinary, and has broad audience appeal.  Designed by our education department, this programming is flexible enough to accommodate the needs of visiting school groups, out-of-town senior groups, local working professionals, home-schooled children, and many others; and versatile enough to be integrated into school-based curricula, Gallery Guild lectures, garden-club activities, or collegiate art studies. A significant portion of exhibtion-based programming takes place in the Closer Look Gallery and Family Corners, which are intimate, distinct spaces within the galleries that encourage participatory, hands-on learning among children and families, with the overall goal of eliciting a personal response to the art and connecting visitors through the art to larger social and cultural themes.
