The San Diego Museum of Art's education department is committed to reaching out into the community in order to make the Museum accessible to anyone who wants to learn about its collections and exhibitions and to understand and participate in the creative process. We serve children, adults, educators, and families in the San Diego area through educational and interpretive programs and performances in the Museum's galleries, classrooms, and auditorium, and through outreach programs in the community.
