Lehman College Art Gallery

The Lehman College Art Gallery will begin a project called “Community Arts Connections” to sustain the gallery’s existing “High School Partnerships” program, expanding it to include middle schools. The program will offer a credit-bearing teacher training course geared for elementary and middle-school teachers, provide extended weekend programs for families and children up to age 8, and offer a range of community outreach programs for adult visitors. IMLS funds will support project activities such as gallery tours, art workshops, after-school workshops, a college mentor program, an intern program, a portfolio program, professional development sessions, an intensive two-week teacher training course, bilingual (English/Spanish) weekend workshops, public art tours, and artists’ talks and demonstrations.
