SAM’s School and Teacher Programs offer unique learning opportunities at all three SAM locations. Through tours, outreach programs, hands-on workshops, events and classroom resources, these programs offer students and teachers opportunities to develop critical understandings of art and culture and their relationships to our own lives. On the School and Teacher Programs web pages you can also download free lesson plans, explore online activities or use the Wyckoff Teacher Resource Center’s searchable database.

We’re actively working to connect art to life: listening to our visitors and community and responding to their impressions. Our community outreach efforts expand the ways we welcome the community, deepen the SAM experience for our visitors and strengthen our partnerships. We’re out in the community making the arts a part of everyday life for people of all backgrounds and cultures.
