The Education Department at the Museum of Arts and Design builds bridges between the Museum, New York City and international community through mutually beneficial, sustainable partnerships.

Our goal is to create learning opportunities in outreach locations as well as within the Museum through collaborations with numerous arts, cultural, civic and social organizations, as well as schools and other educational institutions. We continue to cultivate our current strong partnerships and seek out those partnerships that, when resources combine, maximize the effectiveness of our educational outreach initiatives.
