Learning
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.

As part of our mission to create space for dialogue about the many social justice issues that concern the Chicago community and beyond, Weinberg/Newton Gallery offers FREE educational tours and workshops to youth and adult groups.
VISIT OPTIONS
In the gallery, go on an interactive tour that promotes inquiry, critical thinking, dialogue, and closer looking. In the program space, experiment with materials to create artwork inspired by the themes explored in the exhibition. Tour and workshop lasts approximately one and a half hours and can be modified as necessary.
Guided Exhibition Tour
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. Tour lasts approximately one hour and can be modified as necessary.
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.
