Project Title: Art Matters (Children & Youth Art Education)
Project Description:

The BRMA has been a leader in art education and object-based learning in our community for 66 years, and a pro-active provider of art educational resources to families, schools, educators, and social service agencies. As one of 25 institutions approved by the PBC School District for cultural activity, the Museum’s education department annually presents an array of programs offered to schools at no cost. Programs include:

-EXPRESS YOURSELF! Portrait Project: an art/literacy program impacting 400+ third graders annually in Title 1/underserved schools. Students creatively explore their self-identity while advancing language skills through portrait making, poetry, short stories, and essays. The program includes an exhibition of student work in the Museum.

-Education Mornings / School Tours: for 5,500+ K-12 schoolchildren from throughout the Tri-Counties. The program combines a tour and studio workshop component for students to create artwork inspired by art in the Museum.

-Field Trip Fund: we further reduce barriers to participation with support awards of $250 to 40+ Title 1/underserved schools to supplement their experience with transportation to the Museum, art supplies, teacher training, or substitute teachers.

-Meet a Master, Create a Masterpiece: we partner with three social service agencies serving at-risk children (Florence Fuller CDC, Milagros Center, and Youth Activity Center) to provide 140 afterschool enrichment classes impacting 2,800+ children annually. The program includes an exhibition of student work in the Museum.

-Saturday Morning Art: a new monthly family art-making workshop engaging participants of all ages to develop observational skills and foster lifelong learning.

-Traveling Trunks: a new interdisciplinary, curriculum-based traveling artifact program designed for use in schools K-12 that utilizes items from the Museum’s Pre-Columbian and West African teaching collection to provide teacher training, lesson plans, resource/reference materials, and inventory with artifacts information and instructions for the handling, display and of the objects in the classroom.
