2024-2025 APRENDE SCHOOL TOURS & WORKSHOP PROGRAM

Thank you for your interest in MOLAA’s interpretive programming! We offer both in-person and virtual experiences. Our most popular offering for K-12 school groups is our in-person tour and workshop combo, which includes an engaging, one-hour docent-led tour and discussion of our galleries. Following your tour, you are welcome to join us for a hands-on art workshop based on the current exhibitions.

Pricing for this package is $12.00 per student and one chaperone for every 10 children under 18 gains admission free of charge. We typically book Tuesday through Friday at 10 AM, 12 PM, or 2 PM. However, we have scholarships available to offset these costs, so please inquire at tours@molaa.org for eligibility. School tours are typically on hiatus for the month of July due to Summer Camp programming.

MOLAA does accept ELO (Expanded Learning Opportunity) program requests. Please email education@molaa.org.

During the Fall 2024 term, exhibits you would explore onsite would include:

1. Arteônica*: Art, Science, and Technology in Latin America Today, a PST Arts and Science Collide project: Brazilian art pioneer Waldemar Cordeiro was one of South America’s first computer artists. His treatise on arteônica—a compound of the words “art” and “electronic” and the title of an exhibition he organized in 1971—frames the computer as an instrument for positive societal change, one that could democratize art and culture. ARTEONICA* revisits this little-known Latin American art movement, creating a dialogue between a group of pioneering computer artists from the 1960s and 1970s and Latin American contemporary artists whose work responds to their legacy. Despite challenging political and social conflicts across Latin America in the ’60s and ’70s that isolated artists in the region, the relationships between art, science, and technology expanded during that period. ARTEONICA* explores past and present art from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru within a broader context of conceptual, historical, and geopolitical thought in Latin America.
