Fit To Serve

This program is designed to get seniors and vets moving and active. We intend to create a holistic approach to wellness by working with community partners to provide classes and workshops to our audience.

STEM/STEAM: As the transition continues from STEM to STEAM, we are dedicated to provide. STEAM allows students to connect their learning in science technology engineering and mathematics together with art practices, elements, design principles and standards to provide the whole pallet of learning.
Youth Diorama A model representing a scene with three-dimensional figures, either in miniature or as a large-scale museum exhibit. A diorama is often used as a learning tool to help show a student’s understanding of a certain subject matter. Extension of the STEAM initiative.
Docent Training Volunteer training program led by 9th and 10th to general public who are interested in assisting us with guided tours.
Military Inspired Art In an effort to pay homage to that bravery, heroism, and artistry, MIA will create an atmosphere where veterans, active duty men, and women can showcase their talents off the battlefield along with other modern and contemporary artists who may have been influenced by the military.
Museum After Dark MAD Initiative to attract a younger audience by offering reverse museum hours once a month. The goal is to create general interest, develop a young leaders circle, raise money via the bar and promote the fact that we are more than a museum.
