School programs at The Albany Museum of Art promote literacy and evidential reasoning, content knowledge and critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. These activities and lessons provided meet national and Georgia performance standards and are appropriate for pre-k and up. Students are given the opportunity to practice close looking in the galleries, learn from museum educators, discover new art-making mediums and techniques in the classroom, as well as learn through play in the AMA’s Amazing space.

The Albany Museum of Art and the City of Albany Recreation & Parks Department team up for a free, fun-packed Saturday morning for the entire family. The event will include art projects and crafts, outdoor activities and games, gallery scavenger hunts, and entertainment. Kids will be able to make their own works of art depicting a local hero to display at the museum. There also will be an expo of non-profit organizations that may be of interest to kids and their parents.

The Frick will host three Saturday program series focused on the traditions rooted in folk art music, storytelling, and making. These events will offer interdisciplinary access to the American Perspectives exhibition and will provide a place for community members to become welcomed and recognized, and for existing museum-goers to expand their understanding of art outside of the Frick’s long-standing canon of art. On each Saturday during this event series, it is the Frick’s intention to offer engagement through learning, seeing, and doing—giving everyone a chance to approach the art and their reactions to it in ways that aim to enrich their experience.

Music: October 29, 2022 | 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Storytelling: November 12, 2022 |11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Making: December 10, 2022 | 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
