Outreach/Inreach

In addition to bringing programs out into the community, MCM welcomed 1,200 students from MMSD’s Summer Arts Academy during June-July 2023.  Over the course of 8 private group visits, each student enjoyed a free field trip to MCM with arts enrichment programming provided by guest teaching artists Djam Vivie, Elmore Lawson, and Mandjou Mara. We hope to see the students return in the coming months with their whole family using their family admission passes!
