In partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, regional and national scholars and artists, the Lowe Art Museum presents Teacher Workshops to further the training of elementary, middle and high school educators in our community. Guest scholars and artists are invited to share their historical, cultural, and artistic knowledge, expertise and techniques. In addition, a hands-on component is included to provide teachers with the opportunity to participate in a studio art process. The Teacher Education Center of Dade County provides teachers with ten Masterplan points, and the Lowe Art Museum provides complimentary museum admission for a field trip.*

*Note: Due to budget cuts this year, free buses will no longer be provided as part of the workshop, but free field trip visits will still be available to all participating teachers.
