Lehman College Art Gallery

Lehman College Art Gallery has been a pioneer in the use of interactive media. Projects range from the production of the Public Art in the Bronx Web site, a teacher's guide to over 100 public art projects in the borough, to interactive works of art and new media artist's residencies. Bronx Architecture, a new online education project featuring eighty sites that date from the 17th century to the present, will be launched on October 20, 2009.

The Arts Learning Center

at Lehman College Art Gallery has been a cultural and educational resource for the Bronx community since 1985. Programs are offered to school groups between kindergarten and twelfth grade, college classes, teachers, and community members. Arts Learning Center programs encourage students to develop critical thinking and communication skills while expanding their understanding of art in the gallery. In the studio, students learn to collaborate on installation projects, develop basic arts skills, and make connections between art and their other classes. Our unique location on the Lehman College Campus allows students the opportunity to visualize college life and imagine a possible career in the arts beyond school. The Arts Learning Center internship program completes the circle by teaching college students to become educators in the arts. By introducing significant visual arts close to home in the Bronx, these programs can lay the foundation for a lifelong interest in the arts.
