NMWA’s free, virtual Educator Summer Camp welcomes anyone who identifies as an educator.
Inspired by the Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) Institutes and NMWA’s collection, sessions are hands-on, participatory, and fun. Sessions will explore the museum’s collection and resources; introduce historic and contemporary women artists; and engage participants in experimental making and close looking.
NMWA’s free, virtual Educator Summer Camp will be offered Monday, July 27, through Friday, July 31, 2026. Visit our events calendar to register.
