EDUCATIONAL FOCUS
Inspired by the natural beauty and sculptural aesthetic at LongHouse, the Education Committee seeks to empower visitors in a compelling and personal way. By providing a variety of resources to enhance one's experience, we strive to awaken the senses, deepen one's appreciation and empower the artist within. We provide docent-led school tours, curriculum and family-activity guides, on-line materials, and video. It is our intent that these resources along with our festivals, workshops, and invitational Student Annual will build strong lasting relationships between LongHouse and our students, educators, families and community.
VISITS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS…all free of charge and open year round only to students and educators.
  • We provide class tours which can be individualized to your needs
  • We encourage on site work
  • We invite participation in our Student Annual a juried competition inspired by student visit(s) to LH
