Education at the Danforth Museum of Art

The Danforth Museum of Art Education Department offers a wide variety of opportunities and resources for children, teens, adults, teachers, and families.

Art classes include many levels of drawing, painting, watercolor and ceramics; professional development for teachers; high school portfolio programs and numerous children's classes. Special workshops include Drop into Art for Families, Birthday Parties, Early Release and School Vacation Workshops. Our popular Summer Art classes are a creative alternative to summer camp in MetroWest Boston.

For Museum visitors, there are tours and programs for children and adults, gallery talks by exhibiting artists and lectures related to current exhibitions.
