Back to Programs For Schools
The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts offers a diverse selection of educational programs that help students explore math, science, reading, and more through the arts.
Art Garden
Introducing Arkansas’ largest community-made art installation: the Art Garden. Utilizing MacArthur Park as our canvas, Art Garden will become a monumental artwork on display during the Grand Opening at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts this spring.
Join The Project
To make this monumental masterpiece come to life, AMFA needs your help. Learn how you and your students can participate in the Art Garden using our free educational resources.
Field Trips
We are excited to welcome back educators and K-12 students for field trips after our Grand Opening on April, 22 2023. Field trips are temporarily paused as we reimagine these fun learning experiences through the visual and performing arts.
School Shows
Children's Theatre returns to the stage in our beautifully renovated Performing Arts Theater next May! Reserve your school group seats for a production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar now.
