Educational Programs
Educators, students and community groups are invited to experience the collection of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center with the help of Vassar College student docents. Let them be your guides in the exploration of original paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs and other art forms. Several tours are available, specifically designed for adults or school groups, levels K-12.
- Highlights of the Permanent Collection offers a comprehensive overview of art in the collection from antiquity to the present.
- Special Exhibition Tours provide a focus on current temporary exhibits.
- Curriculum-Based Tours are available to educators of all disciplines to complement work done in the classroom.
- Self-Guided Tours for groups are always welcome; advance notice of your group's visit is appreciated whenever possible.
Educators may also participate in the Every Artwork Tells a Story program for students in grades 1–5. Docents visit your classroom and present slides of works from the permanent collection. Student-centered discussion to encourage exploration of art is followed by an appropriate art activity.
Please allow at least three weeks advance notice to reserve a tour date and time.
Admission is free, and all galleries are wheelchair accessible.
