This series of youth art classes is designed to provide homeschooling students with affordable, quality, and fun arts education. Classes will meet once a week from September through April. All classes can be taken individually but, when taken consecutively, provide a complete curriculum of fine arts knowledge and techniques. Students who participate in any Homeschool Art classes have the option to submit work to the Homeschool Art Student Exhibition that will be on display in the children’s wing of the museum in May.
After school art classes are designed to provide students with affordable, quality, and fun arts education. These limited classes are meant to supplement students’ school art curriculum.
History comes alive with Heritage Express, a companion to our award-winning VanGogh Outreach program. This museum experience immerses students in the history of the Great Road and the early pioneering spirit that brought settlers to the mountains of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee. It includes a close examination of objects made in the region in those earliest days of settlement.
