School Programs

School Tours

Since opening in 2000, the Naples Museum of Art has been committed to providing educational visual arts experiences for students of all ages. Through hands-on art activities and interactive tours of the museum's permanent collection and special exhibitions, students learn about art, history and culture. Students, teachers and chaperones are admitted to the museum for FREE when visiting the museum as a school group. Educational resources as well as supplies for on-site art activities are also provided at no charge.

Friends of Art generously underwrites the transportation of Collier County Public Schools students to our facilities.

ArtSmart Outreach Program

ArtSmart brings the art museum to the schools. This outreach program provides art teachers and students with interactive presentations and hands-on art projects, which strengthens the ties between the arts and a student's everyday experiences. Creative problem solving and critical thinking are encouraged and students gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.
