Education is the mainstay of our mission at the Greenville County Museum of Art. Teachers from around the region bring their classes to the Museum to give the children a firsthand look at art.
There are also gallery talks, lectures, and mini-courses offered at varying times throughout the year, and Thursday-evening programs that range from art to music.
If you’re looking for a hands-on experience in art, try the Center for Museum Education, which offers classes for both adults and children.
Teachers: Make the Museum Your Classroom
Teachers at all grade levels, including home school instructors, are welcome to bring classes to the Museum for age-specific programs. The youngest children are welcomed by trained docents who read stories and integrate hands-on art experience with gallery scavenger hunts and other activities.
Programs for older students are broadly based on the Museum collection, providing opportunities for teachers to integrate art into a wide range of subjects.
These programs are offered free, but advance notice is required. Contact Museum Educator Terri Steck by e-mail or call 864-271-7570, ext. 17
Teachers Institute
The Museum offers a summer course for teachers, The Art Museum as a Resource for Learning. Meeting four hours per day for three weeks, the Teachers Institute offers innovative and effective ways to use art as a bridge to learning. For information about the Institute, take a look at this page, which is in Adobe Acrobat format.
