Teachers and Schols
School Partnership Programs
The Columbus Museum of Art is always seeking innovative ways to introduce students to great art. We have three new strategies that range from outreach to intensive multi-visit programs. For additional information, please contact Jessimi Jones, Educator for Teacher and School Partnerships, at jessimi.jones@cmaohio.org or 614-629-0363.
Art Lab
Art Lab is a high-school service-learning initiative. Teens experiment with technology to create educational resources for our permanent collection and special exhibitions. Creating video podcasts, students forge connections between art, school curriculum, and their lives.

Focus
Focus encourages conversations between two unique groups of students by sharing experiences through photography. Students from two high schools work together to photograph and edit images about their lives. Through photography, writing, and conversation, Focus provides an open forum for student discussion.

Pressing Matters
Through the Pressing Matters program, the Museum forms partnerships with middle schools that lack arts programs in order to provide students with rich arts experiences. CMA staff brings authentic works of art to the classroom to engage students in a two-day, interdisciplinary learning experience. Students will explore social issues relevant to their own lives and will communicate their concerns through creative expression and experimentation. The program includes a day at the Museum where students will explore artwork from the Museum's collection and see the art that they have created on display. The National Endowment for the Arts recognized this program with a Challenge America Grant.

Student Art Exhibition Program
Do you have an interesting student art project or exhibition that you would like to display at the Museum? Please let us know. We install month-long exhibitions in the Nationwide Studio in Eye Spy throughout the school year. We also hold a reception is held for the students, their families, and friends to celebrate the students' accomplishments. Work should be two dimensional, matted, and labeled.
Teacher Programs and Professional Development
Throughout the year we offer teacher workshops and professional development for C.E.U credit.
Join us on Friday, October 17 for the Cabinet of Curiosities Teacher Workshop.
Join the Columbus College of Art & Design and the Columbus Museum of Art as we explore the phenomenon of collecting: how it has affected museum's, the expansion and diffusion of knowledge in universities, and art-making practices. These cabinets were collections of wide varieties of objects that were arranged and studied. This day of professional development, inspired by the CMA Objects of Wonder from the Ohio Sate University and CCAD's Faculty Biennial, includes a lecture and hands-on sessions.
Cost for the day is $25
Arrive at CMA by 8:30 AM for sign-in and coffee.
The day of activities begins at the Columbus Museum of Art, 480 East Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215. You may park in either the CMA or any CCAD lot.
