The Art Mobile of Montana is an educational art outreach program that provides access to exhibits of original, historic, ethnic, and contemporary artworks and art instruction by professional art educators for K-12 schools and community groups.
The only program of its kind in Montana, this statewide service offers interactive presentations of our curated exhibits, quality hands-on art lessons, and teacher education.
AMM educates through art about the diversity of the human experience, culture, practices, customs, and history.
AMM strengthens school programs by filling the required mandate for art as a content area and provides opportunities for youth and adults to participate together in arts-learning through and about art. The annual traveling exhibits of 20-25 contemporary Montana visual artists' works, including Native American's art, is accompanied with presentations by the artists and resources for teachers about teaching art. Artworks enhance the exposure to exemplary artworks for all ages and cultures and at any location, including the 7 Native American tribes and the Indian Reservation schools. AMM lessons satisfy Montana's State Content Standards for visual art.

ART MOBILE of MONTANA

Brochure
 

 The Art Mobile comes right to your door
 bringing an exhibit of original, high quality,  contemporary art work. Schools can schedule
 an interactive presentation followed by art
 lessons  taught by a professional art educator.
 These lessons focus on art fundamentals and  individual expression.
 The Art Mobile is available during school hours,  
 after school, and evenings.
 Lessons are aligned with Montana Performance  Standards for the Arts and can be integrated
 with school curriculum.

 The Teaching Artist displays the exhibit on portable  walls in a room at the site. She then delivers an  interactive presentation addressing the artwork,
 the artists, design and color; and brings the  importance of art and connections to life into  the discussion. After presentations, hands-on art  lessons are available for each class or group desiring hands-on participation.

 We travel our annual exhibit to schools, home
 school groups, after school groups and
 community groups during the school year
 and will make repeat visits for follow-up art 
 lessons year round.
