Education

Art in General’s in-school Arts in Education Program has been in operation for over ten years and combines school curriculum with contemporary art practices. Participating teaching artists and classroom teachers collaboratively create lesson plans that enrich curriculum and integrate the concepts and techniques of exhibiting artists at Art in General, as well as the ideas, questions, needs, and experiences of the students served. Throughout the school year young people are exposed to unconventional art practices and given the materials and guidance to make their own original artwork. The program culminates in Artscool, an annual showcase of student work in Art in General’s galleries.
