Weinberg/Newton Gallery
Weinberg/Newton Gallery is committed to offering a wide range of learning opportunities for students, teens, teachers, adults, and families to engage more deeply with art, activism, and social justice issues.
We strive to create a safe, inclusive environment for you to bring your own knowledge, experiences and ideas to explore art and social justice issues while learning from each other. We aim to show how art is relevant to life, encourage critical and creative thinking, and inspire you to become agents of social change. We welcome people from all skill levels and disciplines to join us in pursuing these goals.
We now offer free virtual visits for Grades 6-12, College, and University.
In person visits are currently suspended until further notice.
Virtual visits, led by the WNG Education Coordinator, are held in real time on zoom and last approximately one hour. During each virtual visit, students will closely explore the artwork and social justice themes explored in the current exhibition on view, then engage in a hands-on digital art making activity (Grades 6–12 only). Virtual visits are highly interactive, and promote inquiry, critical thinking, closer looking, and group conversation, with opportunities for students to engage verbally and non-verbally.
For inquiries or to schedule your virtual visit contact Lisa Lindvay, Education Coordinator, by email at lisa@weinbergnewtongallery.com
Whether you are planning a visit to the gallery or exploring our exhibitions virtually, these interactive learning materials are designed to help you connect with exhibition artists, artworks, and themes.
These hands-on art making activities are designed for all ages to explore and share their social justice interests. New activities are added regularly, so be sure to return often!
Our community partnerships are sustained relationships aimed at providing local nonprofit organizations with engaging educational programs and opportunities that connect art and social justice.
