The mission of the Indianapolis Museum of Art-Columbus
Gallery's education committee is to provide visual enrichment
programs and to foster aesthetic appreciation in children
and adults through tours, workshops and community outreach
programs that complement and enhance the Gallery's exhibitions.
The IMA-CG offers many resources to area schools and groups
interested in education.
Teaching Resource Kits
Three resource kits have been researched and assembled to
coordinate with the BCSC social studies curriculum. They include
visual aids, slides, artifacts, and "hands-on" materials
as well as books and maps to enrich classroom instruction.
The trunk topics are Egyptian, Native American, and Early
Indiana. Available at no charge for two week loan periods.
Group Tours
The IMA-Columbus Gallery offers world-class exhibitions for
the Columbus community. An effort is made to choose shows
with a broad ethnic background covering a variety of media.
Teachers are encouraged to schedule class tours of the exhibitions.
Trained volunteers or staff are available for informational
tours and activities.
Art Smart Indiana
The IMA-Columbus Gallery has presented this program for 15
years. It was designed to complement the fourth grade Indiana
history unit by reinforcing historical material while introducing
material about Indiana culture and general art concepts. Trained
docents make in-class presentations to all fourth grade classrooms
in Bartholomew County.
Videos and Slides
- Impressionism, from the National Gallery of Art, is a
slide presentation suitable for grades 5-12.
- Adventures in Art, from the National Gallery of Art, explains
how art is a reflection of history and shows the evolution
of paintings from the middle ages to the 20th century,

Slides and Videos are available at no charge for two-week
loan periods.
