90-minute Programs

Creative Connections Go van Gogh Programs

Amp up your Go van Gogh experience with one of our 90-minute programs. Embark on a creative adventure and play the role of problem solver, inventor, and storyteller as you experiment with a variety of fun materials. Discover how artists take on these very same roles as part of their creative process.

Each program includes specially designed pre-visit and post-visit activities, as well as opportunities for creative writing, drawing, and imaginative constructions. Materials and instructions for pre-visit activities will be delivered to teachers at their school address. Pre-visit activities must occur during the week preceding the scheduled program.

The following programs are offered between 9:00 a.m. and noon, Monday through Thursday.

Programs last 90 minutes; please make sure class changes and lunch schedules will not conflict with your 90-minute program.
