About WheatonArts




Do you offer special programs?

The Creative Glass Center of America (CGCA) awards fellowships to emerging and mid-career artists working in glass. Fellowship recipients are provided with housing, materials and a monthly stipend. Artists are encouraged to collaborate and exchange ideas, experiment with glass and refine artistic concepts and techniques.

Saturday Morning Enrichment Program
A cooperative project with the Millville Schools continuing education department. Open to Millville and non-Millville residents. Approximately 40 students (grades 2-6) work with professional staff artists in ceramics, origami, basketweaving, paper, and glass. Designed as an alternative to Saturday morning television, this program runs for 8 weeks during February and March.

Hands-On Crafts Experiences
This intense hands-on experience is highly praised by teachers. It is available to elementary classes, grades 3 to 6. Students work with staff artists in ceramics, paper and glass. Preparation materials are sent to teachers prior to their visit so that this short-term experience can be put into a context of learning about the history and process of the craft arts.

Student Docent Tours
Grade level, curriculum related tours of the Museum of American Glass for elementary classes, grades 4 to 12. Communication with the museum staff gives a teacher the option of relating the tour to specific curriculum involving a specific time period of study, as well as art and New Jersey history.
