School Programs

The Woodstock Art Gallery's education programs are designed to help students:

  • Learn to analyze and discuss elements of design and the conceptual or emotional qualities conveyed in the artwork.
  • Build a foundation through which students can develop an appreciation and understanding of the visual arts.
  • Participate in cross-curricular and interdisciplinary learning and visual literacy strategies to communicate with others about visual art.

You can submit a request for school program online, or contact the Education Department by email or by phone at 519-539-6741 or 519-539-6727.
