Preschool Programs

Arturo's Preschool

Arturo's Preschool is a free program for preschool, homeschool, and daycare groups serving children ages 3–6. Take an up-close look at a work of art, read a featured picture book, and try out games and movement activities connected to artworks. Then explore ideas with an art-making activity. In the 2022–2023 school year, preschool experiences will be offered in three formats: in-person classes, pre-recorded videos, and pre-made art kits.

Arturo's Preschool: Pre-Recorded Videos 

Programs are virtual, but the fun is real! Our pre-recorded video option is a flexible format that you can implement at your convenience. Upon receiving your request, we will share a link to a video version of your chosen program along with a list of recommended supplies for the art-making activity. Videos range in length from 12 to 25 minutes and include stories, games, artful conversation, and a demonstration of an art-making activity. Pre-recorded programs are available beginning September 19, 2022.
