Each year, we implement individualized in-class and after-school programs tailored to the needs and interests of our neighborhood middle schools. Our teaching artist works closely with each school's art educator to develop a curriculum focused on exposure to and discussion of contemporary art, strengthening CUE's connection to our local community, and fostering engagement with contemporary art at a young age. Students in all participating schools are led on guided tours of our exhibitions, and participate in critical discussions on the work they see.
