A "Museum without walls," the Ogden Museum of Southern Art's innovative education and outreach programs are specially designed to meet the Museum's core mission - to bring art and people together to explore the rich and varied cultural identities of the South. As one of the country's top resources on Southern art and culture, the Ogden Museum has instituted a complete range of educational initiatives both in the Museum and off-site to ensure that its message will be accessible to audiences across the country and around the world.
Available through the Education Department are extensive materials for students and teachers of all ages to gain and share knowledge on the Southern arts and related topics. Also available is information for planning field trips for grades K-12, classroom resources for teachers including lesson plans and units of study, and special programs for teachers listing training, events, starter ideas and studio workshops.
