Weinberg/Newton Gallery
Education Statement
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.
School Groups
We offer free guided exhibition tours and hands on art making experiences designed to compliment the current exhibition on view. In the gallery students will go on an interactive tour that promotes inquiry, critical thinking, dialogue, and closer looking. In the studio students will experiment with materials to create their own work of art inspired by the themes explored in the exhibition.
Guided tour and workshop last approximately two hours (includes introduction to space, tour, and art making activity) and are by appointment only.
*Please note workshops are designed for a maximum of 30 students. If required, we will happily work with you to accommodate a larger group.
We offer free guided exhibition tours of the current exhibition on view. Our guided tours use an interactive approach to learning to provide social and cultural contexts for understanding art and engaging with social justice issues. We will focus on a selection of works to promote group conversation, critical thinking, and closer looking.
Guided tours last approximately 45 minutes and are by appointment only.
You may bring your group in anytime Tuesday–Saturday 10AM–5PM (Gallery Hours) for a self-guided tour.
Make, look, and talk about art. Explore the exhibition, learn about social justice issues, and create art together. These monthly hands-on experiences are created and led by artists, educators, and activists.
