Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, UMBC
Visual Art Educational Outreach Programming

Including K-16 Students and Teachers

Target Audience
Students throughout the state of Maryland

About the Program
Our programs are for teachers and educators as well as students and their parents.
Teachers can call or write CADVC to request curriculum packets related to exhibitions and to book tours of CADVC visual art exhibitions. Bus fares for tours are available on a limited basis. Packets are also available online at www.umbc.edu/cadvc.

Education Outreach with K-12 schools is an important part of the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture’s programs. The outreach program places UMBC visual art undergraduate and graduate students with professional teachers in city schools to produce original art inspired by guided tours through our exhibitions. Interns at CADVC assist in leading gallery tours and discussions, direct students in making art work in the schools and hang art works produced in Outreach Exhibitions each December-January in The Commons or Department of Visual Arts.

In the last decade, CADVC has worked withover 30 schools such as: City College Senior High, Catonsville High, McDonogh School, Loch Raven High, Baltimore School for the Arts, Towson High, Lombard Middle School, West Baltimore Middle School, Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary and Federal Hill Preparatory School. CADVC has reached at least four hundred K-12 students in the last two years alone.

Program Duration: 1 - 2 semesters.

Program Funding
CADVC, Maryland State Arts Council and Department of Education. Other sources are announced annually.
