The afterschool enrichment program is expanding!  Students in grades 1-3 and 4- 6 may participate in a free after-school program at the Art Museum called Imagine Learning from the Masters. This program is made possible through a partnership with AlbanyCounty School District #1 and uses original art work in the UW Art Museum to enhance students’ art, writing, thinking, and speaking skills.

Students will have the opportunity to sign up for the program through their elementary school. Each program meets for seven consecutive one-hour sessions and follows the Art Museum’s model of inquiry - observe, question, explore, create, and reflect. These dynamic classes engage students in essential learning activities in ways that are fun and creative. They will work with professional artists and writers and a master teacher on writing and art skills, using art on exhibit as a starting point for their own ideas and creative processes.

This program is made possible through a partnership with Albany County School District #1, with funding through National Endowment for the Arts, 21st Century Learning Programs through the Department of Education.
