While the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is closed, the Hartford arts institution is dedicated to engaging the community with virtual content that could benefit families and school communities, including resources for teachers and some virtual gallery tours.
“The Wadsworth is committed to serving the community in creative ways. Like museums all over, our education team hopes that our online arts and educational content may serve to support learning, lesson planning, or simply to enrich mind and spirit in the uncertain days ahead,” says Lindsey Fyfe, School and Teacher Programs Manager at the Wadsworth.
