Education in the visual arts is one of the main purposes of the Pence Gallery. Frequent lectures given by the exhibiting guest artists or curator is an important part of each show. The Gallery also offers an Art Lecture Series for adults, provides annual Art Smart and KidsCreate programs for children, and provides a Curatorial Fellowship for university students.

Pence Gallery's
ArtSmart Program

In the ArtSmart school program, students learn about the rich history of art through active participation in hands-on art projects and discussion. Through guided viewing of art, either in the classroom or at the Pence, students will develop skills in critical thinking and visual perception. More information can be found in the 2008-2009 ArtSmart flier.
