Parents Love Museum Adventures
Here’s what parents are saying about Museum Adventures:
“Your tours offer what many parents want to give to their kids and may not know exactly how.”
“You do a great job introducing sophisticated material to the kids– without dumbing it down nor having it go over their heads. That’s a tricky balance and you do it well!”
“Claire is amazing and really knows her stuff when it comes to art theory and art history. You can tell she really loves working with kids and loves art.”
Contact us to join one of our upcoming tours and see why we’re the best art program in the city!

Studio Visit with Grimanesa Amoros
Wow! Grimanesa Amoros: Beauty, Bubbles, Light, Lines & Fun!

Mrs. Amoros took the time to take us on a journey through bubble islands, lines of lights and even into Times Square’s installation for the Armory show (Did you see it?)
These pieces made me feel extra serene, relaxed and even tickled somehow!

Improv Wall Painting with Basquiat
Students were inspired by Basquiat’s loose, free- style improvisational paintings to paint with repetition of lines and shapes as well as using words and symbols. A friend of Andy Warhol, Basquiat was different from graffiti artists because his words had a higher meaning than just a name on the side of a building. He described his work, “I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.”
Gutai at the Guggenheim
Art Adventures Studio took a class trip to explore the exciting world of Gutai at the Guggenheim Museum.
