Coming to Life
Experiencing Art Firsthand
By engaging with original works of art, museum visitors can experience diverse human experiences. Art education at the Susquehanna Art Museum takes many forms and involves students of all ages! No experience in the arts compares with viewing the primary source – original works of art. Textures and materials come to life when students see works of art firsthand. Original works of art connect students (and visitors) to the historical and cultural context in which these artworks are made; provide a forum to understand art as a way of communicating and reflecting important ideas and serve as inspiration for self-reflection.
Featured Classes

Artists of all levels are invited to this opportunity to hone observation and drafting skills. The benefit of studying the human form is that you begin to see the beauty in art, in humanity, and in your own expression.

Saturday Morning Art Club
The Susquehanna Art Museum offers kids ages 4-7 years old an opportunity to explore concepts, techniques, artists and ideas! Experienced art educators introduce the students to art on view in the museum and then make valuable connections through hands-on activities in the Education Center!
The current session of Saturday Kids Classes begins on January 8, 2022 and runs until April 30, 2022.
Young Artist Camp
Young artist camp is a workshop for students ages 8-12 years old. Each session provides our growing artists unique opportunities to explore the current exhibitions and try new techniques, or experiment with traditional and new materials. Since our older kids can handle more challenging concepts, sometimes our projects will continue over more than one session. The instructor is an experienced art educator who builds a curriculum of exciting projects that will help our students grow and develop their skills.
