Art Museum of Eastern Idaho

The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho will use its grant to continue its ARTworks education program. First launched in 2003, the program is designed to provide creative learning opportunities in the arts, broaden awareness of museum exhibits and programming, and build a connection to the members of the regional community. During the 2010-2011 school year the ARTworks program reached over 5,000 students with hands-on art lessons in their classrooms; provided in-service training to elementary, junior, and senior high school teachers; offered the Young at Art youth exhibit and four free family days to the public, reaching over 5,000 community members; and provided guided tours with art lessons to over 2,000 student and adult groups.
