ART MOBILE of MONTANA

The Art Mobile of Montana is an educational art outreach
program that provides access to high quality, original and contemporary art exhibits and art instruction by a professional
art educator for schools and diverse groups. The only program
of its kind in Montana, this statewide program offers interactive presentations about our annual art exhibits, quality hands-on
art lessons, and teacher education. The Art Mobile program 
helps others to understand the importance of the visual arts
and to educate through art about the diversity of the human experience, culture, practices, customs, and history.
 
 
       

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.
