What is Exploring with the Artist?
Exploring with the Artist is a studio workshop that brings middle and high school students into contact with regionally, nationally, and internationally renowned contemporary artists. This program is an extraordinary opportunity for students to interact with a professional artist and learn about their background and practice. The program involves time in the galleries as well as an art-making project guided by an artist instructor.
Who can participate in the workshops?
Each workshop is designed for either middle or high school students and specifies which group the workshop’s content best suits. Educators are invited to complete an application for their students and acceptance is on a first come, first served basis. No experience is necessary and all abilities are welcome.
