Museum Education

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 Sunday afternoon 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
