Education at The Brooks

We strive to make art accessible to the whole community, in and outside the museum.

At the Brooks, we believe art is a unifying force. We see how art inspires creativity, dialogue, and communal spirit. That is why we strive to make art accessible to the whole community, in and outside the museum.
