MoAD in the Classroom (MIC)

MoAD in the Classroom is an arts-based, visual literacy and cultural studies program for third grade classrooms in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through MIC, students view current art exhibitions, learn how to view and talk about art, and participate in hands-on art activities. MoAD Educators teach students about museum themes, current exhibitions, and visual arts vocabulary. As a culminating event, students display and present their work to peers, family members, and other stakeholders beyond the classroom.

Virtual Programs

In the Artist’s Studio

Each month, MoAD staff members visit some of our favorite artists in their studios to see what they’re currently working on and how their work has changed since the onset of Covid-19. This is a rare opportunity to hear from artists directly from their studios. We follow all talks with an audience Q&A.

Teen Program

MoAD Teens: Diaspora Stories Project is a program where Bay Area youth explore their identities in relation to their diaspora stories and influence the future of museum youth programming.

MoAD worked with dedicated Bay Area students from grades 10, 11, and 12 who showed commitment to documenting diaspora stories in the Bay Area. During their participation, youth worked collaboratively with Black art professionals on learning, investigating, and exploring their connection to their individual stories through the lens of digital photography and podcasting.

Art As We See It

This series of conversations by MoAD Docents celebrates the art and rhythms of the African diaspora by pairing visual art with music. Our Docents search online archives to bring selected artworks and pair each piece with music. Participants are invited to join the discussion via chat as they consider style, inspiration, political and cultural context, and highlight the textures and rhythms of art and music.
