The learning doesn't end when our visiting artists leave town! If you're looking for opportunities to keep the fun going, we have you covered.

Study Guides

We're dedicated to providing transformative arts experiences to children through gallery tours, artist engagements, and special school-day matinee performances from renowned touring artists for children, teachers, and families. Explore exciting new opportunities to connect with the arts through study guides created especially for young audiences in support of each season's school-day matinees and visual arts exhibitions.
