Calling all teachers! Do your students like experimenting with art materials and exploring artworks from other times and places? As you begin to plan your school year, we hope you’ll consider inviting the Dallas Museum of Art to your classroom for a Go van Gogh outreach program. Here are some reasons we think Go van Gogh is a great way to spend a morning:
You can…
- Visit the Museum without leaving your classroom! Go van Gogh brings images of artworks from the Museum for interactive conversations.
- Make an artwork to take home. Go van Gogh brings all the supplies your class will need to make a take-home art project.
- Connect to your curriculum. Go van Gogh programs are geared for specific grade levels, and often dove-tail with subjects students are already learning.
- Travel around the world. Go van Gogh programs feature art from Africa, Mexico, Japan, and other far-off places.
- Get a free pass. Each student who participates in the Go van Gogh program receives a free family pass to visit the Museum.
Some quick facts about Go van Gogh:
- Programs are offered to 1st-6th grade classrooms at schools within Dallas city limits.
- Go van Gogh is free-of-charge!
- Scheduling is first-come, first-served. There is no limit to the number of programs you can schedule.

We hope to visit your classrooms this school year!
