THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART (GR. K-12, TEACHERS)

The Art to Go program puts genuine works of art right into the hands of your students! Under the positive supervision of CMA educators, students in grades K-12 are able to handle art objects while participating in interactive discussions about varied cultures, time periods, art materials and techniques. Learning is interesting, easy and fun for all when students physically connect with authentic and inspiring objects from CMA’s world-renowned collection.
