Project Augusta Savage and The Weaver Art Academy

Museum educators bring art and creativity to inner-city students in grades Pre-K through 5 in a series of outreach classroom lessons and museum visits. Each year’s program culminates in an arts and literacy festival at the school.

Junior Docents

This program enables middle and high school students to learn about the collection through research, hands-on exploration and group discussion, and then share their knowledge with visitors through discussion and demonstration.  These bright young adults also serve as one of The Cummer’s most important volunteer corps.

VSA Festival

Art Connections is committed to making the arts readily accessible to people with disabilities through a variety of programs and special events.  One of the museum’s most important events, the VSA arts Festival, is an annual four-day celebration of art, held in the museum galleries, that brings hands-on experiences and the opportunity to view original works of art to children and adults with disabilities.
