The ArtReach program is a TMA outreach initiative that sends specially trained volunteers to selected TISD schools. The volunteers prepare students for a visit to the Museum with background information and art activities.

A partnership, begun in 1976, between the Tyler Museum of Art and the Tyler Independent School District, enables all students from two elementary grade levels to come to the Museum for a workshop tour. This year all 2nd grade and 5th grade students in TISD will participate.

If your school or district is interested in arranging a similar type of program, please call the Education Department at (903) 595-1001 for more information.
