Art is for everyone.
The Education Studio at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (SAMFA) is where art comes to life for learners of all ages. Through studio programs and school partnerships, we create opportunities for visitors to explore, imagine, think critically, and create.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month, the museum comes alive with hands-on activities, performances, and gallery experiences designed for families.
Free Family Days include...
Family Day is a welcoming, interactive way to explore art and cultures together.
Every Thursday on school days, 4–7 PM, the Education Studio opens for drop-in artmaking for all ages. Art Thursdays feature:
Admission is free and all materials are provided. Come and go as you please!
SAMFA partners with schools throughout the Concho Valley to make art accessible both in and out of the classroom. Our outreach includes:
These programs extend the museum’s resources into the community and support student learning across subjects.
The Education Studio offers special workshops that connect students with practicing artists.
These experiences give students insight into artistic processes and creative problem-solving!
The Education Department builds connections between SAMFA and the community–– both local and global. We do this through gallery and studio programs and digital resources that provide an opportunity for people of all ages to imagine, think critically, discuss, and create.
