Art Museum of Eastern Idaho

The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho will implement the ARTworks educational outreach program to provide students and art educators the opportunity to expand their understanding of, and strengthen their skills in, the arts. The program will address the need for an improved arts-education system in eastern Idaho by offering lessons that are related to current museum exhibits and by providing hands-on exploration of two- and three-dimensional art processes, art history, and art appreciation at no cost to the schools. Aligning with the Idaho Humanities Standards, ARTworks will also incorporate guided tours of the museum, free quarterly family days with hands-on art making lessons, and in-service training to elementary, junior, and senior high school teachers. By introducing this program, the museum will offer visitors creative learning opportunities in the arts, broaden awareness of museum exhibits and programming, and strengthen the connection to members of its regional community.
