Arts Education Programs

SVMA’s education outreach comprises school tours, student art shows, internships for high school and college students, and adult seminars. Education programs include:

ARTS. The annual “Art Rewards the Student” program sends artists into Sonoma Valley’s public elementary and middle schools to teach a variety of art media, including painting, mosaics, gourds, ceramics, calligraphy, papermaking, storytelling, games, and puppets. All projects are curriculum-related. Student work appears at the museum in a three-week exhibition curated and installed by a team of student interns from Sonoma Valley High School and Hanna Boys Center, who are coached by volunteer mentors in the principles of design, installation, and color.
