The Currier is thrilled to announce Art Ventures, a pop-up series of STEAM workshops at the museum this summer for kids ages 6 through 14.

What is a STEAM workshop? Integrating elements of art- and STEM-education, the Art Ventures workshops inspire students to cultivate new skills in problem solving and innovation through hands-on creative activities in a small-group setting.

What is the workshop format and learning environment?
Workshops take place in the museum’s gallery classroom from Wednesday to Friday in a convenient half-day format. Each workshop is capped at six students to allow for a nurturing and supportive experience. No lunch care is available.
