The Museum regularly offers gallery talks, lectures, guided tours, and children's
workshops to provide an introduction to collections and exhibitions, as a part of its
education program.
Through the childrens
workshop program, young people learn how to look at and understand art while becoming
acquainted with different cultural traditions of the Americas. Various hands-on activities
reinforce discussion themes and develop self-expression. Most of all children have fun in
a museum.
The bilingual workshops are
offered free-of-charge and are led by artist Carolina Mayorga. The program begins with a
brief introduction to the exhibition on view in which children actively participate in
games and discussion about what they are seeing. The children then move to the workshop
area where they work on a variety of exhibition-related hands-on activities. The program
generally ends with a "mini-exhibit" of art projects in which individual
interpretation and meanings are shared.
