Education Programs

Curricular Involvement with the Community

The Bates College Museum of Art’s education program is focused on curricular involvement with both the College and surrounding communities. Whenever possible, outreach programs include a service-learning component to capitalize on the expertise of Bates students.

The museum now reaches every middle school student in its surrounding communities of Lewiston and Auburn, the second largest population center in Maine.
