Teacher Workshops

This program invites local, regional and future teachers to learn more about the connections that can be made between contemporary art and traditional curriculum. During each workshop you will explore the exhibitions with our Education staff, participate in hands-on activities and take home lesson plans and other tools for classroom use. This popular program is great for networking and teacher training, development and continuing education as participants can earn CEUs. Bonus: each workshop includes delicious snacks and refreshments! 
Teacher Workshops are FREE to teachers and education students, but space is limited and reservations are required.
