School Partnerships
Some of VisArts’ best youth workshops are those we’ve built alongside our school partners. We often get calls from teachers and administrators who know their students need more arts education but don’t know how to stretch their limited resources to make it happen.
We’ve been teaching art for more than 50 years, so we love being a resource for schools that want more art. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Bring your students to VisArts or we’ll send VisArts instructors to you. Integrate gallery tours and art workshops into your school day or participate in our after school programming. There are lots of options. Talk to our director of youth education, and we’ll work together to develop a meaningful partnership that delivers incredible results.
