Art Excursions
The Georgia Museum of Art's summer outreach program, Art Excursions, reaches children and senior groups in the Athens area and can take place at the museum or at their location. Participants view a temporary exhibition or a presentation of an exhibition during a one-hour interactive program that includes a studio workshop. Currently Art Excursions is sponsored by the Albert Christ-Janer Memorial Fund and the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art.
Education
The outreach services provided by the department of education help fulfill the museum's mission as Georgia's official state art museum. The department of education organizes lectures, symposia, film series, and workshops throughout the year in conjunction with exhibitions. In addition, a biennial international conference on early Italian art draws scholars from around the country and the world, providing a forum for new research and discoveries. Funds provided for education ensure the highest quality programming will continue.
