The Jewish Museum partners with a host of institutions dedicated to education, the arts, serving individuals with special needs, and supporting families. Through these partnerships, the Museum and its collaborators pursue a wide variety of initiatives, whose goals have included mounting dynamic Public Programs, holding unique studio workshops for college-age art students, and helping children and their families develop visual literacy skills through art-making and gallery experiences. With the Museum’s collection, exhibitions, and staff as resources, the opportunities for prospective institutional partners to further their missions is only limited by the imagination.
Our academic partnerships range from university courses taught at the Museum to seminars to collaborative performance workshops. Partner organizations include Columbia University, Parsons The New School for Design, and Tent: Encounters with Jewish Culture.
The Museum works closely with more than 25 public, private, Jewish, and special education schools to develop dynamic visual arts programming for Pre-K through 12th grade students and teachers. Led by teaching artists over multiple days or weeks at both the schools and the Museum, multi-session programs are designed to make connections between in-class learning and the Museum’s collection and exhibitions. Participating students build their visual arts vocabulary, consider art within cultural and historical contexts, and experiment with various art materials through studio art activities.
Multi-session programs can be scheduled for three to six sessions for a minimum of two classes of the same grade level. We encourage all classes on a grade level to participate.
Pricing varies depending on scope of partnership. Please contact us at schoolprograms@thejm.org or 212.423.3270 for more information.
Through dynamic partnerships with special education schools, adult care facilities, and non-profit organizations, the Museum provides individuals with disabilities opportunities to make personal connections to culture, history, and to each other through art. Working with a teaching artist over a series of visits both on- and off-site, participants examine artwork from the Museum’s collection and exhibitions, explore a variety of art forms, and experiment with materials and techniques through art making. Access partnerships serve children and adults with developmental delays, visual impairments, and cognitive disabilities, among other audiences.
The Jewish Museum is interested in engaging with families across the city, both on- and off-site. The Museum has been involved with the Literacy Through Culture program through its partnership with Cool Culture; has engaged with Parent Associations at the Dalton School and the Hannah Senesh Community Day School; and has partnered with organizations such as Reboot and Baby Loves Disco. We look forward to working with other like-minded organizations interested in family outreach.
