Educational
Programs and Partnerships at the HMA
The Museum consists of The Burt Chernow Galleries and a vast collection
of works of varied mediums and styles that are displayed throughout
the College. This provides a colorful and stimulating landscape and
learning environment for our HCC students as well as visiting students
from area schools.
HMA
has partnered with businesses and other institutions to provide meaningful
educational experiences through art, art appreciation, and the role
of art in our society.
Peer Docent Program
Students from area schools involved in the
Peer Docent program attend training sessions with an art educator
to learn about the HMA collection
and how to encourage their peers to think about art as they view
the collection...

with the Museum in their curriculum. The art department is particularly
involved and each year there is a student art show at the end of spring
semester.
