The programs also feature classes in Drawing, Painting, Photography, Pottery, and Sculpture as part of the Museum’s artist-led workshops for youth and families, alongside adults and students and teachers.

The Youth Education Programs at Academy Art Museum take place within a museum that was originally founded as the Academy of the Arts in 1958 and moved to its current address in 1960. The Museum’s mission is to promote the knowledge, practice, and appreciation of the arts and to enhance cultural life on the Eastern Shore by making its collection, exhibitions, and arts programs available to everyone. The organization was accredited by the American Alliance of Museums in 2003 and changed its name to the Academy Art Museum that same year. The Museum is described as the cultural hub of the Eastern Shore for art, music, and educational programming, and it offers artist-led workshops featuring classes in Drawing, Painting, Photography, Pottery, Sculpture and more for adults, youth and family, and students and teachers.
