BMoCA’s Studio Project
Have a teen interested in art and social justice, who enjoys hanging out with their peers? Encourage them to apply to our spring semester of the Studio Project Teen Program! The free program is open to all 9th–12th graders in Boulder and surrounding counties.
ArtStop and ArtStop on the Go
ArtStop provides free, hands-on art making for families during the Boulder County Farmers’ Market (Saturdays & Wednesdays). Held outdoors on the front porch of the museum, creative projects are designed to complement exhibitions within the museum.
ArtStop on the Go is an off-site, outreach program that provides after-school art education for youth ages 5-12. Launched in 2008, ArtStop on the Go has impacted the lives of thousands of youth and their families through hands-on art projects, instructional workshops, and quality time spent with artists, art educators, and museum staff.
ARTLab
In 2011, BMoCA launched ARTLab, an ambitious effort to engage underserved high school students in Boulder County with fine arts and an immersive studio art program. ARTLab empowers teens to build positive futures by expressing themselves through art while also earning credits towards graduation. Through ARTLab, students learn about future careers in artistic fields and to trust their creative voices.
Contemporary Classroom
Contemporary Classroom is a free day of art education and activities at your school with materials and curriculum provided by BMoCA. The program brings BMoCA’s exhibitions to your classroom with two exciting components: a BMoCA educator and a hands-on art making workshop.
