CMA offers both short and long term outreach activities for schools and community associations. Our workshops are hands-on, creative sessions for children to discover new ways to express themselves. Our outreach sessions range from two weeks to an academic year. One of the highlights for your students and their families through the outreach process is the opportunity to see their work exhibited at the museum. Are you wondering how these sessions work? Below is a description of how the museum sets up an outreach program. First Step: Ideally, your organization should call the museum at least four to six weeks ahead of your targeted start date for the outreach. During this initial phone call we will work together to discuss your overall goals for the program and we will create a strategy for achieving them. This will assist us in connecting an art project to your class project or after-school program. Second Step: Once we have covered the logistics of the outreach, CMA staff matches your group with a Teaching Artist. Before the outreach begins, we require the classroom teacher or lead contact to meet and discuss goals and expectations, and to review the project together. Third Step: The Teaching Artist will begin working with the children for the designated amount of time. The outreach ends with an exhibition opening for the school community at CMA. There is a range of costs for these workshops, and the price will reflect the duration of the outreach as well as the number of Teaching Artists needed.
