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 CAVC to request curriculum packets related
to exhibitions and to book tours of CAVC visual art exhibitions.
Bus fares for tours are available on a limited basis.
Education Outreach with K-12 schools is an important part of
the Center for Art 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 CAVC assist in leading gallery tours and discussions,
direct students in making art work in the schools and hang the
art work produced in an Outreach Exhibition each December-January
in The Commons.
In the last two years, CAVC has worked with 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. CAVC has reached at least
four hundred K-12 students in the last two years alone.
The Program Will:
-organize and host a high school Design Fair.
-provide a minimum of six tours of the exhibition to high school
students.
-provide one or more UMBC interns to work with high school instructors
on design projects related to tour and exhibition for the Design
Fair.
