Schools
Art opens doors to understanding and connection.
Through engaging, hands-on learning experiences, students encounter a wide range of artistic expressions that reflect diverse cultures, perspectives, and human stories. As they explore techniques, materials, and creative processes, students sharpen essential life skills—observation, inquiry, and interpretation—while developing imagination, empathy, and the ability to think critically and reflectively. We work in partnership with educators to enrich classroom learning, helping students make meaningful connections between curricular concepts and the world around them.
Tours
A guided tour with a volunteer docent is a great way to engage your students in making relevant and meaningful connections to their lives and classroom studies. Trained docents encourage creativity, collaborative discussion, and critical thinking while participants share stories about the artwork and artifacts they experience. While guided tours are encouraged, you are welcome to schedule on a self-guided tour as needed.
Performances
Educational performances are an exciting way to introduce your students to world culture, music, theater, and dance. Programs vary, but generally include short performances followed by discussion of the genre of music and culture of the performers. Performances take place in Milliken Auditorium, a wheel-chair accessible venue welcoming to all ages.
