Held annually, this six-day summer program helps teachers strengthen their knowledge of art and its history while they learn to integrate visual art into their classroom teaching. Changing topics relate to objects in the Gallery's permanent collections and kindergarten through grade 12 curriculum subjects. The program features lectures, gallery tours, methodological training, and hands-on learning experiences.

Detailed information and an application form will be available at this site in January 2009.
