Museums are dedicated to ensuring that students from diverse backgrounds have access to rewarding, engaging, and high-quality educational experiences. The Amistad Center for Art & Culture is dedicated to offering a robust in-person as well as virtual experience for all students as part of their classroom learning to enhance their knowledge in the areas of history, social studies, world regional studies, visual arts and humanity. We encourage students to think creatively and critically and allow visual arts to impact them throughout their educational journey.
