Art Education at the Hunterdon Art Museum
In addition to more than 200 classes, the Hunterdon Art Museum offers a broad range of educational programs both at the museum and in the community.
For more information about any of our programs, email us here or call the museum at (908)735-8415.
Artzone
Young families may visit Artzone on the museum's third floor where free art supplies are available along with ideas for projects. Children who are accompanied by an adult may create a work of art, relax with an art book, or add their work to the community exhibition.
Art Parties
Art parties are a great way to celebrate a birthday or other occasion. Projects, including tie-dye, clay, jewelry-making, and printmaking, will make the party a fun, unforgettable event, and everyone will go home with his or her very own creation. We know just how to create a party, whether for a child's birthday or any other special event!
Docent Tours
The museum offers docent-led (guided) tours of the museum's main exhibitions. Please call ahead to make a reservation.
Scouts Program
Each year almost 1,000 Scouts earn merit badges in after school and Saturday workshops. Programs are scheduled through the Rolling Hills and Great Valley Councils, but instructors can custom design a program to meet the needs of a specific troop as well.
Embarq Young Artist Showcase
The Embarq Young Artist Showcase provides over 1,000 schoolchildren each year with the opportunity to exhibit their art in a designated gallery of the museum. The program runs from January through June, featuring the artwork of children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Additionally, the museum hosts opening receptions for the "guest artists," their families, friends, and teachers.
Employment Opportunities
The museum hires teachers throughout the year for children's and adult's studio art classes. We are particularly seeking teachers with innovative ideas for classes. If you are interested, please send your resume to the Education Department. Please also include a list of possible classes you would like to teach, along with the ages for which each class would be suitable.
