The Morris Museum welcomes philanthropic support for its educational
programs. As a teaching institution, arts education is central
to all programming at the Morris Museum. We reach out to the northern
New Jersey community with a broad range of activities for students,
children, adults, families and educators. Our service to the culturally
diverse region features exhibition programs, school outreach, art
education for children and adults, public workshops for children
and families, and professional development seminars for teachers.
- Exhibition Programs are field trips to the museum for
school groups to study an exhibition with a museum educator and
to complete a related art project.
- Outreach Programs bring the museum to students and teachers
who are unable to visit on-site
- School Loan makes it possible for teachers to borrow portable
exhibits containing handling objects with lesson guides to enhance
classroom curricula.
- Professional Development Program for Teachers is a series of
workshops that offers resources and tools for teachers and school
administrators. A registered professional development service
provider, these museum programs relate to New Jersey Core Curriculum
Content Standards.
- Public Programs for Children and Families include art workshops
for children, family festivals with art, environmental and science-related
activities, weekend workshops, vacation day family workshops,
children's summer day camp and summer and year-round musical theatre offerings.
- Art Education for Adults offers art classes taught by local
artists.
Through the visual and performing arts, the Morris Museum offers
our diverse constituencies a major cultural center of creativity,
discovery and learning that is dedicated to an environment
in which the visual and performing arts, sciences and humanities
flourish.
