Education and Public Programs

Art is for everyone, and no where is that more evident than through Philbrook's education and public programs.

We believe all people can realize greater human potential through art by stimulating their imagination, thought and creativity. Education is central to this mission at Philbrook.

Our classes, public programs, tours and resources invite students of all ages to gain greater understanding, enjoyment and access to the museum’s permanent collection, special exhibitions, and the villa and gardens. Everyone from pre-school children to educators and working artists can experience Philbrook through these programs. Such experiences bring visitors back time and time again, encourage other art activities in their lives and make the museum easily accessible throughout the year.

Philbrook’s education programs are designed to provide group-learning experiences that are rich in content and presented in many ways from which participants may choose. Ours is an environment that allows all museum visitors to take risks and explore unique artistic forms of expression.

We invite you to discover the dynamic education programs at Philbrook–they truly will enrich your life.
