HABITAT FOR ARTISTS

ART FOR EDUCATION at WAAM builds community, learning and art-making experiences through collaboration and outreach with schools, artists, educators and families. Over 700 students participate in our school programs, museum visits and family days annually and contribute artwork  to our youth exhibitions program in the YOUTH EXHIBITION SPACE.  WAAM partners with libraries, historical societies, regional school districts and community organizations to engage students, families and our community in the arts.

Problem Solving

We believe access to works of art gives children the problem-solving and creative thinking skills that are critical to their future success as adults.

Visual Literacy

The arts celebrate multiple perspectives. One of their lessons is that there are many ways to interpret the world.

Critical Thinking

Art education equips students to think visually, which can help with problem solving – an ability that is essential for the 21st century.

Art Making

Annual events for kids and families include hands-on art activities and tours relating to our exhibitions and historic Permanent Collection. Such events have included mask-making, wire sculptures, watercolor still lifes, and sidewalk drawings.
