Every year, the Burchfield Penney hosts hundreds of educators and their students, including pre-school field trips, college-level workshops, and everything in between.
When you book a tour, your visit will be customized to your needs and areas of study. The museum also offers numerous special programs for school groups and others.
The Burchfield Penney Art Center now has free lesson plans for students and teachers. The following art inquiry guide is based on works from BPAC's permanent collection. BPAC is committed to offering educators resources that introduce students to art and support classroom benchmarks, particularly in the visual arts and English Language Arts. Use this resource in your online classroom or as standalone lessons.
In addition to our annual Evening for Educators, The Center will be happy to design and conduct professional development days for any school or district upon request. Please email, bpactours@buffalostate.edu for more information.
