Educators

Our education programs are hands-on, collaborative, and impactful, taking inspiration from Warhol’s life and singular approach to making art.

K–12 School Programs

The Warhol’s education team of professional artist educators work closely with teachers and group leaders to develop gallery and studio experiences that are relevant, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

Our team works with educators to craft one-hour guided gallery tours and three-hour hands-on workshops that can be adapted to meet each group’s needs.
