Education
At WheatonArts, we value the creative process, and the many ways in which engagement with the arts introduces learning skills and strengthens basic classroom curriculum goals. Arts and crafts classes open a world of creative possibilities for all ages.
In addition to all of the many wonderful exhibits, demonstrations and other attractions throughout WheatonArts, we offer special programs and classes for students and adults. Tour the internationally-known Museum of American Glass and discover the science, industry, art and magic of glassmaking from colonial times to the present.
The Down Jersey Folklife Center offers permanent exhibitions related to the folk traditions and cultural diversity of southern New Jersey and also has special exhibits highlighting the region’s many ethnic groups and art forms.
The Artist Studios offer demonstrations and opportunities for visitors to meet informally with resident artists. As artists share their craft, they discuss materials and the science, history and social forces that have shaped both art and culture. They answer wide-ranging questions as wood, clay and molten glass are transformed before your eyes. Our studios are incubators for ideas for the resident artists as well as the daily visitor.
The scenic grounds of WheatonArts offer the magic of nature, from the sands that form a major part of glass to the wide variety of trees and other plant life that help teach lessons in science and nature.
