The SCA’s outreach programming focuses on providing exposure to diverse professional creatives, cultivating and nurturing creatively aware citizens through workforce readiness skills and hands-on, process-oriented approaches. The students we serve learn to think broadly, create bravely, expand their sense of self, and share their voices with the wider world.
Our 5-week educational outreach programs offer learners unique opportunities to meet and work alongside professional artists and designers. Rooted in creative arts, and supported by ELA standards, Michigan GLCEs, and SEL standards, school programs include 4 visits from a leader of our Education team, 1 session with the Visiting Artist, a field trip to the SCA Gallery, all creative materials, and our bespoke curriculum for the exhibition.
Field Trips to the SCA
All Ages | Single visit to the SCA | 45 – 90 minutes
