LEARN - The Museum of Art DeLands Education Department provides innovative programs to inspire curiosity, build visual literacy and foster a greater awareness of the world around us. Through lectures, talks, workshops, tours and participatory events, the Museum staff is dedicated to designing programming that allows visitors of all ages to see, create and interact with art in new and unexpected ways.

FAMILIES - Family Fun Saturdays, scheduled the third Saturday each month September through May, are designed to help children and grown-ups explore the Museums exhibits together. On these designated Saturdays, there is free gallery admission and hands-on art activities from 10 a.m. 1 p.m. for the entire family. Family Fun Saturdays are sponsored in part by the Rotary Club of DeLand and the Orange City Blue Springs Manatee Festival.

ADULTS - Throughout the year, the Museum offers a variety of programs and tours for adults of all levels of expertise. Lifelong learners are invited to gain fresh perspectives and find like-minded peers and topics to stimulate their creative interests.

EDUCATORS - The Museum of Art DeLand education programs enhance vital classroom learning by providing opportunities for students and teachers to experience art in new and exciting ways through first-hand encounters with original works of art. The Museums Education Department is dedicated to providing activities designed to spark creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Education programs provide students equitable, fun opportunities for learning and engagement with original works of art, creating stronger links between people, art and ideas. Each program is designed to engage students both in and out of the classroom with a selection of interpretive programs that can be tailored to specific grade levels and classroom curricula in both art and non-art subjects. Programs include tour options for students of all ages, teacher materials, professional development opportunities and working partnerships with area schools. To take advantage of these opportunities, you can visit the museum, the museum can visit your school, or you can do both.

CAMP CREATE - This exciting summertime art camp is a six-week program where kids age 6 12 can explore all the art-filled adventures they can dream of. Each week a new adventure theme ignites their creativity and imaginations. Campers create 2D and 3D projects and enjoy a wide variety of hands-on art experiences, excitement, and fun.
