After School Enrichment Program

Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 may participate in a free after-school program at the Art Museum called Imagine Learning from the Masters. This program is made possible through a partnership with Albany County School District #1 and uses original art work in the UW Art Museum to enhance students’ art, writing, thinking and speaking skills.

Students will have the opportunity to sign up for the program through their elementary school. Each program meets for eight consecutive one-hour sessions and follows the Art Museum’s model of enquiry – observe, question, explore, create and reflect. These dynamic classes engage students in essential learning activities in ways that are fun and creative. They will work with professional artists and writers and a master teacher on writing and art skills, using art on exhibit as a starting point for their own ideas and creative processes.

Classes meet on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 pm. Students are bused to and from the Art Museum courtesy of Albany County School District. Contact your elementary school principal for information on how to participate.

This program is made possible through a partnership with Albany County School District #1, and with additional funding through the Laura Jane Musser Foundation, the Ruth R. Ellbogen Foundation and the Wyoming Arts Council through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming State Legislature.
