Art Education Classes
Fruitlands Museum offers an array of art classes and workshops in fine art, crafts, and traditional art. We have an outstanding roster of professional artists who provide instruction for students from beginners to the most advanced. Art classes at Fruitlands are rooted in the museum's exemplary collection of Hudson River School landscape paintings, early American portraits, traditional art such as cabinetmaking and crafts such as weaving, beading, and more. In addition to our fine remarkable collections, many classes take inspiration from the museum's remarkable landscape and stunning vistas of the Nashua River Valley. Oils, watercolors, baskets, pastels, nature journals, ceramics, photography, Shaker weaving and more can be found in our seasonal calendar of classes.
K-12 Programs and Adult Group Tours
Fruitlands Museum believes that we all continue to learn even long after finishing a formal education. That's why we have developed a variety of informative and entertaining tours designed to especially for adult and senior groups. During a group visit to Fruitlands, participants receive customized tours led by trained historic interpreters who tailor programs to respond to the interests of the group. In addition to guided tours, Fruitlands Museum also offers lecture style presentations to regional assisted living facilities, libraries, and community organizations. Drawing on the rich history and diverse collections of Fruitlands, these Outreach Programs bring the museum right into community living rooms, making access to the museum that much easier for seniors and adults
Public Programs
Fruitlands Museum supports lifelong learning for adults, children and families with a variety of educational experiences throughout the year. Films, concerts, lectures, walking tours, gallery talks, artist demonstrations, family days and more - many free with admission - await our visitors. Each program we offer is designed to connect to the museum's mission to celebrate and honor the art, history and landscape of Fruitlands. That means finding presenters, artists, scholars and experiences that draw upon our collections in entertaining, informative, and unexpected ways, ultimately sparking curiosity, extending knowledge, or creating personal meanings within our visitors.
