Creative Virtual Programs with LACMA
We’ve partnered with Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to bring virtual arts programs to our communities, featuring LACMA Teaching Artists and staff.
Creative Storytelling (for Kids)
Watch these workshops that pair an art piece in the LACMA collection with a picture book. The artwork and book are then brought to life through a variety of expressive art activities based on an artist in focus and a theme, lead by a LACMA Teaching Artist.
Creative Careers: Museums and the Arts (for Kids & Teens)
Ever wanted to learn about the art-related careers that exist in creative places like museums? These videos feature LACMA staff, who will discuss what they do and the journey they took to get there, opening viewers’ minds to the many possibilities for the future.
