We support arts learning in and out of the classroom. Our resources and experiences for educators and students include tours, professional development, partnerships, and the Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) arts-integration curriculum.
What We Offer
Field Trips & Tours
Introduce Pre-K–12 students to visual art and women artists by booking a guided tour or scheduling a self-guided visit. Bus subsidies are available.
Professional Development
Join us for an evening program or one of our multi-day Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) courses, and leave energized and primed with new ideas!
ABC Curriculum
