Vashon High School students

Schools

The museum can come to your school, you can come to the museum, or do both! CAM’s signature ArtReach suite of programs for K–12 schools aims to provide art to classrooms where support is needed most. All programs are free of charge and aim to increase access to the museum. For more information or to be added to the mailing list, contact schools@camstl.org.

K–12 Tours

CAM tours are designed to empower students to engage with contemporary art and relate its messages to their own lives and experiences. These free 60-minute guided tours link with learning standards and include close looking, facilitated conversation, and hands-on activities.

ArtReach Workshops

ArtReach Workshops extend the school’s engagement with CAM beyond the initial tour visit, offering a more immersive and reinforcing experience for students. The program builds upon ArtReach themed tours through a hands-on workshop.

ArtReach Partnership: Sumner and Vashon High Schools

Since 2017, CAM has partnered with Vashon High School to ensure a consistent art curriculum is available for students. Resident Teaching Artists and museum staff provide weekly art classes throughout the year.

Teacher Workshops

CAM provides free tours and workshops for K–12 educators to develop their skills, network, and resources to continue their valuable work in the classroom across our community. Please contact us to plan a program at the museum or in your school.
