MEET THE MASTERS
Meet the Masters is a volunteer art history & art appreciation program that introduces children to the world of fine art—guiding students on an adventure in “seeing” through fun presentations and projects. We’re so grateful to all our teachers and volunteers for supporting the arts by facilitating Meet The Masters sessions.
