Sign-up Online for School Workshops

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s studio workshop program encourages involvement and interaction by inviting students to look at, analyze, experience and create art.

Each program combines a learning activity in the galleries with a related studio process in the Ford Learning Center. These 90-minute hands-on workshops for Pre-K through 12th grade will complement your curriculum.

For information on tour/workshop combination programs, please see the Combination Tours listed on our School Tours page.
