Education
In addition to displaying spectacular works of art in dynamic new spaces, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art offers educational programs and resources. Interactive art appreciation tours led by volunteer docents are designed to facilitate appreciation and understanding of contemporary art in our exhibitions and in the permanent collection on view throughout campus. Regular museum programming also includes gallery talks, visiting artists’ presentations and international film series. Engaging studio classes for children are offered on Saturdays and during the summer. Printed orientation materials, interpretive labels, and self-guided tours enhance museum experiences for casual visitors of all ages. Through educational programming and resources, the Nerman Museum presents contemporary art for discussion and offers opportunities for creative expression, aesthetic pleasure, intellectual stimulation, and social interaction.
