ARTransmissions 
ARTransmissions is a biannual education outreach program designed by SMMoA to bring contemporary art into K-12 classrooms. The Museum provides teachers with art education resources in the form of free limited-edition lesson plan posters, to help students connect critically and creatively with contemporary art. Concurrent with SMMoA’s major exhibitions, each ARTransmissions poster features a full-color reproduction of one of the works on view. The image and lesson plans spark curiosity, invite inquiry, and inspire students and teachers to visit the Museum.

Park Studio
Park Studio takes interdisciplinary art education outside SMMoA’s walls and into the local community. Led by the Museum’s director of education and public programs, in collaboration with acclaimed contemporary artists, Park Studio guides high school students through hands-on art workshops, art history lessons, and field trips to important cultural sites each year during their Spring Break. Park Studio explores themes that combine art and urban life, and provides extraordinary extra-curricular opportunities to students free of charge. Park Studio is presented in partnership with the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Department and the Teen Center at Virginia Avenue Park.

Wall Works
Wall Works is SMMoA’s award-winning arts education program that produces a dynamic, public art project. The program connects contemporary artists with the creative imaginations of local K-12 students, and provides hundreds of students with in-school art making instruction and activities free of charge. All works by students are installed together to form a spectacular large-scale project in the Museum’s Wall Works gallery at the Bergamot Station Arts Center. The resulting exhibition is celebrated with an opening reception for teachers, students, and their families.
