Learning

 

Weinberg/Newton Gallery was committed to offering a wide range of learning opportunities for students, teens, teachers, adults, and families to engage more deeply with art, activism, and social justice issues.

We strived to create a safe, inclusive environment for guests to bring their own knowledge, experiences and ideas to explore art and social justice issues while learning from each other. We aimed to show how art is relevant to life, encourage critical and creative thinking, and inspire  guests to become agents of social change. We welcomed people from all skill levels and disciplines to join us in pursuing these goals.
