QMA Comes to You

“The role of cultural organizations has become more and more important because they are outside the DOE system and thus free to focus on arts and special needs.” - Arts Coordinator at P.S. 144Q

Residencies (1st - 12th grades)

Residencies offer the opportunity for a deeper learning experience that allows for a more extensive two-way integration of classroom content and art-based learning. During residencies teaching artists visit classrooms for a minimum of five sessions and work collaboratively with teachers to develop a program that helps students discover the parallels between their classroom learning and the museum’s resources. To initiate a residency, please phone (718) 592 - 9700 x137.

Museum-School Partnerships

Teachers and administrators collaborate with the Education Department to create customized art-based programs that will support their classroom content. The museum’s galleries and art studios offer a compelling entry point into learning that can address the educational needs of a diverse population of students.

For over ten years, the museum has partnered with individual schools to create long-term relationships and initiatives specific to the interests and culture of the school. Participating schools usually utilize a combination of Department of Education funds and private grants to support these undertakings.
