From the cutting-edge contemporary art at Mass MoCA to the timeless masterpieces at the Clark Art Institute, they engage with art in all types to deepen their critical thinking, communication, writing, and social-emotional skills. These visits spark thoughtful conversations, hands-on art making, and a deeper appreciation for the arts. 🖼️✨
