After School at Newfields

Program description

No need for students to be bored when school is out of session! Throughout the school year, Newfields offers students the opportunity to explore the IMA collection and express their creativity, all after the school day ends. Newfields seeks school partners whose students have limited access to formal arts education. Students from participating schools visit Newfields with a teacher representative from their school and work with a teaching artist over the course of several sessions. Students enjoy interdisciplinary experiences that develop their creative problem solving skills and help them to express ideas through visual art.

If you are interested in learning more about Newfields: After School or wish to become a school partner, please contact the Academic Engagement Project Manager at ccaskey@discovernewfields.org.
