Empowering families and our communities through art

All of MAAM’s educational programs are free of charge and open to the public

• We promote a sense of belonging in the museum environment, and help visitors realize that cultural institutions, such as MAAM, are a resource for learning

• We inspire learners of all ages to trust their voices and to follow their imagination and creativity

• We provide opportunities for youth and families to think critically about contemporary art and to develop their artistic vocabulary

• We help visitors recognize the diversity of art and artists, and promote learning about social issues through art

• We demonstrate how artmaking is a meaningful activity that youth and families can perform at home

A day devoted to making art

We provide the materials and inspiration, just bring your creativity! Twice a year, we invite visitors of all ages to MAAM Maker Day, a day-long event featuring interactive activities and artmaking designed and guided by MassArt students, faculty, and staff.

Let’s draw together!

Led by professional artists and educators, these collaborative creative sessions draw inspiration from the exhibitions on view at MAAM. Drawing Together is always free and open to the public. No previous art experience is required, and we provide the drawing materials for in-person sessions. 

Share your work on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtag #MAAMDrawingTogether.

Experiencing art inside and outside the classroom

Our Looking to Learn program inspires Boston-area students to use their imagination and develop lifelong skills, such as collaboration, critical thinking, questioning, and reflection. For more than two decades, the program has remained a core component of MassArt’s commitment to offering high-quality visual art experiences to young learners.

Looking to Learn is available to students of Boston area schools. Contact your child’s teacher or educator to learn more.
