Art for Life

Generous individuals, corporations, and foundations have supported the educational programming offered at GRAM. These gifts have enabled the Museum to serve over 11,000 students and youth. GRAM is immensely grateful for Art for Life lead sponsors Bill and Marilyn Crawford, who have generously provided the crucial lead support to launch this exciting new initiative.

Summer Art Camps

Offered during the summer, these thematic sessions welcome children, ages 4 – 13, to participate in intensive week-long sessions to experience creativity and innovation in a unique and transformative setting. In 2017, 145 children attended camp, including 42 children from low-income households, who received full-tuition scholarships.

Professional Development for Educators

Launched in 2010 and developed for educational professionals, GRAM provides valuable learning opportunities for school administrators, teachers, and para­pro­fes­sionals. This program has experienced tremendous growth over the past five years from 96 educators in 2010 – 2011 to 464 educators this past year.
