Our Rural Teachers Engaging Art program makes museum resources and experiences accessible to all Indiana teachers and students. With a dedicated museum educator, we travel to rural schools and offer online learning. Through customized experiences, teachers are empowered to build a supportive and productive classroom community of learning.
Can’t make it to the museum?
We’ll come to you and bring our enthusiasm for learning about art with us. Our museum docents are one of a kind and will tailor an in-classroom visit to your students’ needs. These in-class visits can supplement an in-person tour or serve in place of a museum visit.
